Abstract:
head and neck region. Postoperative recurrence rate was 42 10%, five year survival rate was 8 33%. Not a single case was found to be malignant degeneration of neurolemmoma or neurofibromatosis, nor as a result of radiotherapy. It is suggested that MNST is a primary soft tissue malignant tumor, and early complete excision is the key treatment. The biological characteristics of this tumor as revealed in this study suggest that it is different from what was reported in the foreign literature.
