Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor of the C2 Nerve Root: Case Report
Here we present the case of a 36-year-old man who was found to have a symptomatic malignant neural sheath tumor growing from the C2 nerve root following a period of progressively worsening headaches. The patient was successfully treated with surgical resection resulting in resolution of cranial nerve deficits. Though uncommon, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor must be considered in the di...

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...
