Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor(MPNST, primary malignant schwannoma) within the spinal canal is very rare. The prognosis of MPNST in the spinal canal is very poor due to the tendency of perineural spread, dissemination throughout subarachnoid space and local recurrance. This report details the authors' experience on the case of primary malignant spinal schwannoma with review of the literatures and other studies.
