Fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography masquerading as a case of sporadic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of lower extremity presenting as massive lower limb edema

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare neuroectodermal tumors resulting from the malignant transformation of benign plexiform neurofibromas. The sporadic form of these tumors is rare than familial variants (seen in neurofibromatosis Type 1) and making the diagnosis difficult. We...
