Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, also known as malignant schwannoma, are rare soft tissue sarcomas. They commonly invade axial sites and rarely do they occur in the thorax. Herein, we present the case of an enormous metastatic multilobulated intrathoracic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor that was first misdiagnosed as desmoid fibromatosis and successfully resected for palliative purpose.
