Answer

For reference, genuine examples of small round blue cell tumours include: Ewing sarcoma/PNET, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphoma (particularly lymphoblastic lymphoma), and small cell carcinoma of the lung — all composed of primitive, densely-packed cells with scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei, requiring immunohistochemistry (and often molecular/cytogenetic testing) for definitive subclassification.
