Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is a rare, aggressive tumor accounting for 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcoma. In the thorax they are usually located in the posterior mediastinum. We report a case of MPNST of the anterior chest wall presenting as a breast mass in a 22 year lactating woman. Diagnostic work-up included sonomammography, MR mammography, and core biopsy and was treated primarily by surgical resection.
