A 30-year-old man with peripheral neuroepithelioma which was present in the retroperitoneum underwent surgical treatment under the diagnosis of germ cel tumor. Subsequently he died of local recurrence and multiple metastases to the liver seven months after surgery.

We also reviewed 20 cases of peripheral neuroepithelioma reported in Japan.
