title: [Value of imaging in the diagnosis of peripheral neurofibrosarcomas: a case report].
abstract: Neurofibrosarcoma is a rare malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. It's the consequence of degeneration of neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis. In the absence of clinical symptoms of malignancy, imaging is of prime importance. The observed new case of cubital neurofibrosarcoma stimulated the researchers to give more importance to MR imaging in distinguishing from the benign tumors.
