Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor is a rare type of soft tissue malignant tumor that occurs in only 5% of cases.

Among mediastinal tumors, only 18.8% occur primarily in the nerves, and of these, only 10.3% are malignant.

We studied six cases of mediastinal primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in which surgery was carried out.

Nerve sheath tumors localized within the membrane offer good long-term prognosis even if malignant.
