abstract: This report describes a case of locally recurrent limb malignant schwannoma in a 74-year-old patient. The light microscopy and immunohistochemical findings are presented and current methods of surgical treatment reviewed. We describe treatment using wide local excision with frozen section control of the marginal nerves and present a 3-year follow-up.
