NCIt definition : An uncommon, highly aggressive malignant tumor, arising from the peripheral nerves
and affecting mostly adults in their third to sixth decades of life. It usually occurs
in medium-sized and large nerves of the buttock, thigh, upper arm, or the paraspinal
region. It may be associated with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1).;
