title: Malignant schwannoma of the radial nerve with unusual presentation: a case report.
abstract: Malignant schwannoma (MPNST) is a rare tumor. Many of these cases occur in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) and they usually present as a mass lesion which rapidly increase in size with or without neurological symptoms. Here we present an unusual case of MPNST along the radial nerve in which the patient has no underlying neurofibromatosis type I.
