Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour, abbreviated MPNST, is an uncommon malignant tumour of the nerve sheath.
It is also known neurofibrosarcoma[1] and neurogenic sarcoma.[2]
General
- Malignant - as the name implies.
- Usually assoc. with a peripheral nerve.[citation needed]
- May be seen in the context of neurofibromatosis type 1.
Microscopic
Features:
- Cellular - usu. spindle cells.
- Very rarely epithelioid.[3]
- 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.

Grading
Sarcoma grading system[6] - based on:
- Tumour differentiation.
- Mitotic rate.
- Necrosis.
IHC
Features:[7]
- S-100 +ve ~ 30% of tumours.
- SOX10 +ve ~ 50% of tumours.
Others:[4]
- p53.
- p16.
- p27.
- MIB1.
