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.

  • MPNST in a NF1 case (WC/Filip em).

  • MPNST gross pathology (Flickr/drbloodmoney).

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.

  • MPNST with chondroid dedifferentiation (Triton tumor). (WC)

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]

  • p53.
  • p16 -ve.[15]
  • p27.
  • p75NTR +ve (80%).
  • EGFR +ve [16]

Molecular

Features:[17][18]

  • 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.
