Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Malignant triton tumors (MTT) are subtype of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) which develop from Schwan cells of peripheral nerves or within neurofibromas, and shows rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. It is a rare soft tissue tumor with poor prognosis.
OBJECTIVE: We report a case of Malignant Triton Tumor (MTT) arising in the right shoulder in a 46 year old male patient presented to our Musculoskeletal Oncology Clinic at Royal Rehabilitation center at King Hussein Medical Center during June 2018.
CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was complaining of an 8 months long progressive right shoulder pain and swelling at the posterior lateral area of the shoulder. As accurate diagnosis is crucial in such case, investigations that included x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an soft tissue tumor involving the right shoulder area leading to the differential diagnosis of aggressive soft tissue tumor which laid down the plan of an open incisional biopsy to be reported histopathological as a case of Malignant Triton Tumor which is a very rare and aggressive sarcoma originates from the peripheral nerve sheaths as it is subtype of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors after which excision of the entire tumor with safety margin was performed and referred for adjuvant chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION: The treatment of choice is radical tumor excision with wide margins followed by chemotherapy and /or radiotherapy to improve the 5 years survival rates.
