''' CNS Primitive neuroectodermal tumour''', abbreviated '''CNS-PNET''', is an uncommon [[neuropathology tumour]] in the group of embryonal tumours.
''' CNS Primitive neuroectodermal tumour''', abbreviated '''CNS-PNET''', is an abandoned [[neuropathology tumour]] description within in the group of embryonal tumours.
 
The terminology was introduced in 1973 <ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Hart | first1 = MN. | last2 = Earle | first2 = KM. | title = Primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the brain in children. | journal = Cancer | volume = 32 | issue = 4 | pages = 890-7 | month = Oct | year = 1973 | doi =  | PMID = 4751919 }}</ref> and used in the WHO 2007 classification of CNS tumors. Since 2016 this category has been replaced by the designation '''other CNS embryonal tumors'''.
It is also known as '' supratentorial primitive neuroepithelial tumour'' (supratentorial PNET).

*Cerebral hemisphere, brain stem or spinal cord.

===Supratentorial PNET===
* This category of small round- and blue cell tumor was used in the WHO 2007 CNS tumor classification to separate them from medulloblastomas.
* Tumors are today classified as [[AT/RT]], [[Pineoblastoma]], [[ETMR]], H3F3A-mutated [[glioblastoma]] or CNS embryonal tumor, NOS.
