Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare malignancy of nervous tissue. The oral incidence of this lesion is extremely low. MPNST can occur sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis. We report a rare intraosseous MPNST in the mandible of a 33-year-old female patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.
