Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are uncommon in children and almost half of the cases occur in patients with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1). We report a child with a primary MPNST of the lung without NF1. MPNST of the lung has similar clinical and radiologic characteristics as pleuropulmonary blastoma. We suggest to include MPNST of the lung in the differential diagnosis of intrapulmonary masses in children. Copyright (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
