Abstract

An abdominal wall tumor was discovered in a 65-year-old man when he was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. The needle biopsy specimen indicated peripheral neuroepithelioma. The patient underwent a simple resection of the tumor and reconstruction of the abdominal wall with artificial peritoneum and Dexon mesh. He has survived with liver cirrhosis for 31 months after the operation. Peripheral neuroepithelioma in the abdominal region is rare and thus the reported English literature is discussed.
