Overview
Complications
Metastasis
- Metastasis occurs in about 39% of patients, most commonly to the lung.[1]
Prognosis
- Prognosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is generally poor.[2]
- Features associated with poor prognosis include a large primary tumor (over 5 cm across), high grade disease, co-existent neurofibromatosis, and the presence of metastases.[1] Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is extremely threatening in NF1.[3]
