https://doi.org/10.56618/2071-2693_2023_15_3_71
Abstract
ABSTRACT. Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumor is rare disease which is characterized by aggressive clinical course. In classification of tumors CNS WHO 2021 has been changed its position from benign to malignant nerve tumors, however, there are not guidelines for treatment such patients.
CASE REPORT. We present a rare case of MM NST in a 36-year-old woman with a paravertebral tumor of Th4-Th6 vertebrae, without metastases, mitosis, necrosis, invasive growth, with low proliferative activity, also presence of capsule, cystic component, growth from nerve — these features help distinguish from melanoma.
CONCLUSION. The clinical case of a rare nerve tumor underscores the key importance of morphological research in determining the degree of anaplasia of nerve tumors.
