RADIATION-INDUCED SARCOMAS: A SURGICAL CHALLENGE
Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are uncommon, biologically challenging soft tissue sarcomas. The definitive treatment of these tumors is extremely challenging. In 50% of cases, these tumors are associated with type I neurofibromatosis, but in some cases, the cause can be previous treatment with radiotherapy. The present article pretends to report a clinical case of a radiation-induced MPNST submitted to surgical treatment.
