Groups of axon cylinders comprising a peripheral nerve are enmeshed in a non-specific sheath of fibrous tissue, and tumours arising from this non-specific nerve sheath are neurofibromata. In some nerve sheath tumours clear histol...

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...
