Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors of the scalp are rare neoplasms of the peripheral nervous system. Here, we describe an unusual malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the scalp in an 84-year-old Asian man. The tumor was associated with bony destruction, intracranial, and extracranial extension. Trans-arterial embolization was done twice preoperatively. En block excision was performed and the dura and soft tissue defect were reconstructed by anterolateral thigh free fasciocutaneous flap. There is no recurrence and the wound healed well during follow-up.
