Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of tongue: a case report

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2023.2022402

Abstract

Abstract:

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare neurogenic malignant tumor. MPNST has aty-pical clinical symptoms and imaging presentations, difficult diagnosis, a high degree of malignancy, and poor prognosis. It usually occurs in the trunk, approximately 20% in the head and neck, and rarely in the mouth. This paper reports a case of MPNST of the tongue. A summary of the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of MPNST is presented in combination with a literature review to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Key words: tongue, malignant neoplasms, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
