Two malignant peripheral nerve lesions of non-neurogenic origin

J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol. 2012 Jun;56(3):305-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1754-9485.2012.02343.x. Epub 2012 Mar 6.

Abstract

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.
