Massive Fun gating Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Arising from the Forearm: A Case Report and Literature

Samer Abdel A

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma that develops within a peripheral nerve with most cases reported association with neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1). Half of the cases were reported in the extremities and with the lungs being the most common organ for metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a limb salvage surgery for an excision of a large exophytic MPNST of the forearm with wide surgical margins followed by split thickness skin graft and later a flexor carpi radials (FCR) tendon transfer.
