Two malignant peripheral nerve lesions of non-neurogenic origin.
The imaging features and histology of two cases of non-neurogenic intraneural malignancy--an epithelioid sarcoma and myeloma--are described. These cases are important reminders that not all nerve tumours are of neural origin and also show the crucial importance of a robust multidisciplinary approach to achieve the correct diagnosis and management.
