Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare soft tissue neoplasms, which occur in isolation or due to the malignant
transformation of benign neurofibroma. Conventional features of MPNST are very well described. We intend to present diffusion
tractography findings in a case of MPNST.
