Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNSTs) are highly aggressive soft tissue sarcomas for which surgical resection is the mainstay of therapy. However, recurrence rate is high and there are very few options for refractory or metastatic MPNST. Many studies have stated that the use of adjuvant therapy is expanding when patients do not have clear surgical margins. In this report we discuss a case of MPNST which had complete response following adjuvant radiation.
