Sonographic Characteristics of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
Our results show that both benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (schwannomas and neurofibromas) and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors have variable sonographic features. However, most peripheral nerve sheath tumors share the common features of being hypoechoic and homogeneous, with posterior acoustic enhancement and peripheral nerve ...
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor - Radiopaedia.org
2024年5月29日 · Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are forms of peripheral nerve sheath tumors occurring either de novo or arising from pre-existing tumors (e.g. neurofibromas, schwannomas etc.). Approximately half of such tumors are seen in individuals with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) , in such cases arising from pre-existing neurofibromas.
Cross-Sectional Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
Multitechnique correlation of CT, MR imaging, and sonography is shown with emphasis on characteristic signs of peripheral nerve sheath tumors including the relationship to the nerve, fusiform shape, “split-fat” sign, associated muscle atrophy, and the MR “target” sign.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are malignant, locally aggressive soft tissue sarcomas (STS) with nerve sheath differentiation and a high propensity to metastasize. They are rare in the general population, with an approximate …

Nerve Sheath Tumor - Johns Hopkins Medicine
A nerve sheath tumor may appear on imaging such as an MRI or ultrasound when a person is being evaluated for one of the symptoms listed above. Or the tumor can be an incidental finding — discovered when a doctor is using MRI to examine a …
Sonographic Characteristics of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
The presence of intrinsic blood flow on color Doppler sonography and peripheral nerve continuity suggests the diagnosis of peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Sonography cannot reliably distinguish neurofibromas from schwannomas.
