===General=== | |||
*Rare. | |||
*Considered to be a variant of ''[[MPNST]]''. | |||
*Prognosis worse that conventional MPNST.<ref name=pmid17149968/> | |||
*Diagnosis may require clinical information, i.e. individual has a history of [[neurofibromatosis type 1]]. | |||
Note: | |||
*A handful of ''benign triton tumours'' are reported; these are considered ''neuromuscular [[hamartoma]]s''.<ref name=pmid15814954>{{Cite journal | last1 = Castro | first1 = DE. | last2 = Raghuram | first2 = K. | last3 = Phillips | first3 = CD. | title = Benign triton tumor of the trigeminal nerve. | journal = AJNR Am J Neuroradiol | volume = 26 | issue = 4 | pages = 967-9 | month = Apr | year = 2005 | doi = | PMID = 15814954 }} | |||
