Description: Neurofibrosarcoma (Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor) Peripheral nerves are nerves that receive messages from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) leading them to stimulate voluntary movement. Neurofibrosarcoma, also known as peripheral nerve sheath tumor, is a malignant tumor that develops in the cells surrounding these peripheral nerves. It can sometimes arise in patients with neurofibromatosis (NF1).
