Abstract

Isolated Peripheral Malignant Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) may mimic a synovial sarcoma where a cytogenetic study is crucial to help differentiate the two entities in the context of similar clinicohistopathological background. Here we report a patient with progressive median nerve MPNST, that was initially thought of spindle cell sarcoma, however cytogenetic study excludes that possibility and patient was managed as MPNST with good outcome over 5 years follow up.
