Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare high‑grade sarcomas arising from the peripheral nerves or peripheral nerve sheath cells. MPNSTs rarely occur in the soft tissue, especially in the uterine cervix. Few cases of cervical MPNST have been reported in the literature. The present study reports the case of a 36‑year‑old female patient who presented with vaginal bleeding. A cervical mass was detected by vaginal ultrasonography and the patient was diagnosed with MPNST via assessment of the morphological and immunohistochemical features of the tumor after surgery. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy following surgery, and at 8 months post‑treatment, had no recurrence or metastasis. Furthermore, the present study summarizes the characteristics of all reported cases of cervical MPNST and their potential differential diagnosis with other spindle cell tumors.
