Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is biologically an aggressive tumour that is usually found in the extremities, trunk and infrequently found in the head and neck area, particularly in the jaws, arising from the cells associated with nerve sheath. MPNST of the mandible is a very uncommon tumour that develops either from a pre-existing neurofibroma orde novo. Because of the greater variability from one case to the next in overall appearance both clinically and histologically, a case of MPNST of the mandible in 25-year-old female patient is reported.
