Abstract | Background/aim: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare soft tissue malignant tumors. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of benign reactive histiocytosis with hematoma that mimics MPNST on medical images. Case report: A 57-year-old female with past history of hypertension came to our clinic due to low back pain with radiculopathy which was diagnosed with a tumor arising from L2 neuroforamen with L2 pedical erosion. Initial tentative diagnosis on the images was MPNST. However, after surgical resection, the pathologic report revealed no evidence of malignancy but only an organized hematoma with reactive histiocytosis. Conclusion: Images cannot provide enough diagnostic evidence for distinguishing a reactive histiocytosis from MPNST. Proper surgical procedures and expert pathological identification can correct the mistaking of the ambiguous identification as MPNST. Images can only provide precise and personalized medication accompanied by proper surgical procedures and expert pathological identification. |
