Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in schwannomatosis: a case series
This case series highlights that MPNSTs, although uncommon, can arise in NF2- and SMARCB1-related schwannomatosis without prior radiation exposure, presenting significant diagnostic challenges due to their similarity to benign schwannomas. The findings underscore the importance of maintaining clinical vigilance and employing individualized management strategies, balancing thorough resection with the preservation of function and patient quality of life.
