Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare disease. The present study discusses the case of a 30‑year‑old male patient who presented with complaints of pain in the left testis and groin over 1 month. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed the presence of a space‑occupying lesion localized in the left testis. The mass was completely resected using an open surgical approach and was diagnosed as a primary MPNST of the left testis on postoperative histopathological examination. As this type of tumor is rare, there is currently no standard diagnostic or treatment method for MPNST. Pathological examination, enhanced CT imaging and immunohistochemical investigation are helpful for establishing the diagnosis and surgical resection is considered to be an effective treatment.
