Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors of the scalp are rare lesions of the nervous system. Only 16 cases have been reported to date. In this report, we present a case of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) of the scalp and retrospectively analyze the clinical features, imaging findings, pathological features, and prognoses of these tumors.
