Abstract
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is a neoplasm that most often arises in anatomically discernible peripheral nerves or neurofibroma. A 37-year-old woman presented with a rapid growing pedunculated, huge mass on the left breast for 1 month. She has suffered from neurofibromatosis type 1 with multiple cafe au lait spots and neurofibromas. The huge mass has developed from a subcutaneous nodule on the left breast. The clinical and histopathological data showed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Since no sign of the metastasis was observed, local excision was performed. We, herein, report a case of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor developed in the patient of nurofibromatosis type 1.
