Background And Importance: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are the most common malignant mesenchymal tumors of soft tissues, but they are very rare when found to arise from a cranial nerve and when not in association with neurofibromatosis. These tumors are highly malignant and carry a poor prognosis with survival usually less than 6 months.
Clinical Presentation: The authors report the case of a 23-year-old female with no history of phakomatoses, previous irradiation, or known genetic disorders, who presented with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the vestibulocochlear nerve and brainstem.
