Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare and aggressive soft tissue sarcomas arising from the peripheral nerves. These tumors are associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and though they can occur sporadically, their diagnosis can be complex, especially when metastases are present. This case describes a young female patient with MPNST located in the dorsolumbar region and metastatic spread to the lungs, along with a history of acoustic neuroma.
