Intrathoracic Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor: Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Features
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare nerve sheath tumor derived from Schwann cells or pleuripotent cells of neural crest. Neurogenic tumors make about 10-20% of all mediastinal tumors. Incidence of MPNST is 0.001% in general population and 0.16% in patients with neurofibromatosis I (NF I). We report a case of 60 year female presenting with progressive cough and breathlessne...

متن کاملIntrathoracic paraspinal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
Schwannoma is the most common nerve sheath tumor in the posterior mediastinum, whereas intrathoracic paraspinal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is quite rare. Both benign and malignant nerve sheath tumors may be symptomatic, rendering clinical differentiation of limited utility. On radiographic imaging, erosion of the ribs and vertebral bodies, irregularity in contour, and inhom...
