Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) account for~ 5% of soft tissue neoplasms and are
responsible for a wide spectrum of morbidities ranging from localized neuropathy to …

Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are neoplasms derived from neoplastic Schwann
cells or their precursors. Whereas benign PNSTs are relatively common and considered …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiating benign from malignant peripheral nerve
sheath tumors can be very challenging using conventional MR imaging. Our aim was to test …

OBJECT Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are uncommon but bear a significant risk
of malignancy. High-resolution MRI is the standard technique for characterizing PNSTs …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of fiber tractography and diffusivity analysis
generated from 3D diffusion-weighted (DW) sequences for preoperative assessment of …

Objectives To evaluate potential of conventional MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)
for differentiating malignant from benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs). Methods …

Objective To determine the utility of “target sign” on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping for peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) …

Objective In patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), it is important to accurately
determine when plexiform neurofibroma (pNF) transforms to a malignant peripheral nerve …

Background Optimal management of peripheral nerve sheath tumors including
neurofibromas, schwannomas, and malignant peripheral sheath tumors (MPNSTs) is …

B, Coronal proton density–weighted fat-saturated MR image shows fusiform shape of slightly
heterogeneous high-signal-intensity lesion (arrows) with proximal and distal …
