Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour, abbreviated MPNST, is an uncommon malignant tumour of the nerve sheath.
It is also known neurofibrosarcoma[1], neurogenic sarcoma.[2] and malignant schwannoma - these terms are however depreceated.[3]
General
- Malignant - as the name implies.
- Usually assoc. with a peripheral nerve.[4]
- May be seen in the context of neurofibromatosis type 1 or radiation induced.[5]
- Approx 50-70% arise from (mostly plexiform) neurofibromas.
- Usu. adults
- Approx. 5% of all malignant soft tissue lesions.
Microscopic
Features:[6]
- Cellular - usu. spindle cells.
- Very rarely epithelioid.[7]
- Nuclear atypia.
- Mitoses.
- +/-Herring bone pattern.
- Perivascular hypercellularity.
- Tumor herniation into vascular lumens.
- "Pseudocapsule" with tumour invasion of adjacent tissue.
Notes:
- May be diagnosed in a poorly diff. tumour if patient has NF1.
DDx:
- Cellular schwannoma.
- Plexiform schwannoma.
- Malignant triton tumour.
- aka. MPNST with mesenchymal differentiation.
DDx of herring bone:
- MPNST.
- Synovial sarcoma.
- Fibrosarcoma.

Grading
- Can be graded histologically, according WHO[8] and this is prognostic.[9]
- grade IV: Presence of necrosis (3/4 of all MPNST).
- grade III: Mitotic count exceeds 4/1 HPF.
- grade II: nuclear size (<3x of neurofibroma cell), hyperchromatic nuclei.
- overlap with cellular ("atypical") neurofibroma (DDx).
Sarcoma grading system[10] - based on:
- Tumour differentiation.
- Mitotic rate.
- Necrosis.
IHC
Features:[11]
- S-100 +ve ~ 30% of tumours.
- SOX10 +ve ~ 50% of tumours.
- Neurofibromin (NFC) -ve (88% in NF1, 43% sporadic MPNST)[12]
- H3K27me -ve[13]
- MIB-1 ≥20% is highly predictive of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (87% sensitivity and 96% specificity).[14]
Others:[8]
Molecular
- Atypical neurofibromas and low-grade MPNST have a common methylation profile and frequent losses of CDKN2A.
- A subset of MPNST show loss of trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3).
- P53 and beta-spectrin mutations during progression reported.
