Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are aggressive sarcomas that derive from peripheral nerve cells and are associated with a poor prognosis. We report a rare case of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the anterior chest wall of a 21-year-old female. The patient underwent induction chemotherapy, and resection of the mass with negative margins. She subsequently underwent radiation therapy.
