Abstract

ABSTRACT Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) can rarely present as anterior mediastinal masses in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), causing respiratory symptoms and diagnostic challenges. Multidisciplinary evaluation, including biopsy and imaging, is essential for diagnosis, with surgical resection as the primary treatment. Early recognition and vigilant monitoring in NF1 patients are crucial for prompt intervention and improved outcomes.
