Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are exceedingly rare in an intracranial location. In this report clinical and pathological evidence for the diagnosis of a MPNST arising from of the oclumotor nerve is presented. To our knowledge this is the first such case reported in the medical literature.
