Abstract

Gastric malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are sarcomas arising within a peripheral nerve. Gastric MPNSTs are extremely rare with only a few cases. We herein describe the case of a 48-year-old man with a gastric MPNST for the first time in Korea, which was diagnosed histopathologically after surgery. The patient underwent curative subtotal gastrectomy with D1+ lymph node dissection and Billroth-II reconstruction. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and he has had no recurrence until now. The ideal adjuvant treatment protocol is yet to be decided due to the relatively limited number of cases of these tumors previously reported.
