Case reports: fibrosarcoma metastatic to the sciatic nerve.
Fibrosarcoma that metastasizes to the central nervous system has been documented in the literature. However, we know of no recorded case of spread to a major peripheral nerve. We report a unique occurrence of fibrosarcoma with metastatic involvement of the sciatic nerve, and a review of the literature.
