Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors

Abstract: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare soft tissue sarcomas of ectomesenchymal origin. The World Health Organization coined the term MPNST to replace previous heterogeneous and often confusing terminology, such as “malignant schwannoma,” “malignant neurilemmoma,” “neurogenic sarcoma,” and “neurofibrosarcoma.” Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors arise from major or minor peripheral nerve branches or sheaths of peripheral nerve fibers, and are derived from Schwann cells or plurip… Show more
