| pubmed:abstractText |
A 45-year-old female patient developed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) arising from the left brachial plexus, ten years after regional radiation treatment for Hodgkin's disease. The clinical course was characterized by local recurrence, pulmonary and cerebral metastases with endocranic hypertension syndrome, and the death of the patient 18 months after the onset of symptoms. The tumour presented a histopathological picture of schwannoma with a high grade of malignancy. A particular feature of this case was the exceptional occurrence of the early and massive invasion of the brain.
