Abstract
RUIZ MARTIN, Irene; RAMOS ZAYAS, Ana; TORRES CALCINES, Natalia and SANCHEZ ANICETO, Gregorio. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour of mandible. Case report and bibliographic review. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.3, pp.132-135. Epub Oct 13, 2020. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/recom.2020.1106/2019.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that arises from peripheral nerve sheath cells. It has aggressive behavior. It usually occurs in extremities and trunk, being its presence in head and neck very infrequent. We report a rare case of TMVNP of the inferior dental nerve in its mandibular intraosseous pathway, not associated with neurofibromatosis.
