“…Soft-tissue sarcomas, including MPNST, are typically reported as locally recurrent, rather than metastatic, and tend to occur in middleaged to older dogs [48]. MPNSTs involving the face are rare and cases associated with the eye have been scant in the veterinary literature [311]. Therefore, the purpose of this case report is to present a canine patient of MPNST that occurred within the orbit and in whom surgical excision was feasible and to describe the histopathological characteristics of canine MPNST.…”

A 14-year-old Maltese dog presented with progressive exophthalmos and external deviation of the right eye. Ultrasonography revealed the presence of a retrobulbar mass and fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed, which detected a malignant mass. There was no evidence of metastasis on thoracic and abdominal radiography. Computed tomography showed no invasion into the bony orbit and no metastasis to the lung or lymph nodes. Exenteration was performed to remove the mass completely. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor was confirmed by histopathological examination.

“…The prognosis of MPNST is associated with the tumor's size, location, biological behaviour and history of radiation exposure (26). MPNST can metastasize to the adjacent tissues or distant organs, including the lungs and bones; therefore, the 5-year survival rate is <20%, and 50% of patients experience recurrence (27).…”

Abstract. The scalp is the most frequent site of occurrence of malignant tumors. As an area that is generally neglected by the patient and not closely monitored during physical examinations, scalp tumors can go unnoticed until they become malignant. The present study reports 3 cases of rare giant malignant tumors of the scalp, namely a peripheral nerve sheath tumor, a fibrous tumor and a malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumor, that were treated at The First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University (Changchun, China). Vascularized free anterolateral thigh flap surgery was performed in 2 of the 3 cases. A local flap repair was applied to the third case. The implanted skin grafts remained viable post-operatively and wound repair was uneventful. No signs of malignancy were detected on the edge of the pathological section upon closer pathological examination. In the follow-up period, no recurrence was detected in any of the cases.

“…Ці пухлини є саркомами, і час-то тяжко віддеференціювати їх тканинне походження. Пацієнти з НФ-1 мають 10% довічний ризик розвитку злоякісних пухлин периферичних нервів, що найбільш часто виникають із плексиформних нейрофібром [5]. Клінічні і рентгенологічні ознаки злоякісних пухлин практично не відрізняються від доброякісних.…”
