{{Main|Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour}}
*Commonly abbreviated ''MPNST''.
 
===General===
*Malignant - as the name implies.
*Usu. assoc. with a peripheral nerve.{{Fact}}
*May be seen in the context of [[neurofibromatosis type 1]].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Cellular.
*Nuclear atypia.
*Mitoses.
*+/-Herring bone pattern.
 
Notes:
*May be diagnosed in a poorly diff. tumour if patient has [[NF1]].
 
DDx:
*Cellular [[schwannoma]].
*Plexiform schwannoma.
*[[Malignant triton tumour]].
 
DDx of herring bone:
*MPNST.
*[[Synovial sarcoma]].
*[[Fibrosarcoma]].
