Sporadic malignant nerve sheath tumour of the oculomotor nerve.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are exceedingly rare in an intracranial location. In this report clinical and pathological evidence for the diagnosis of a MPNST arising from of the oclumotor nerve is presented. To our knowledge this is the first such case reported in the medical literature.
