متن کاملCutaneous Epithelioid Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor: A Case Report
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma arising from neuroectoderm-derived cells comprising the outer coverings of peripheral nerves. Given the diverse cell types comprising the peripheral nerve sheath, both benign and malignant nerve sheath tumors display a wide range of histologic appearances. MPNST can arise either in association with proximal nerve trun...
