Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) constitute a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors. Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a rare variant of MPNST with rhabdomyo-sarcomatous differentiation. Among the two types, more prevalence is found for MTT associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with male predominance. In patients without NF1, female predominance with tumors commonly located on the trunk has reported. In this article, we present a case of MTT in the left upper arm of a 22- year- old male. A complete surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy were done and no evidence of recurrence found during the follow-up for last three years.
