ABSTRACT

Resumen Los tumores malignos de la vaina nerviosa forman parte del 5% de los sarcomas de partes blandas. Si bien son infrecuentes, su incidencia aumenta en caso de neurofibromatosis tipo 1. Cuando estos tumores están ubicados en cabeza y cuello, suelen ser asintomáticos, por lo que su diagnóstico es tardío. El tratamiento es principalmente quirúrgico, con una tasa de recidiva importante y pobre sobrevida a los 5 años. Se presenta el reporte de un caso de una paciente de 52 años con antecedentes de neurofibromatosis tipo 1 y un tumor maligno de vaina nerviosa periférica del nervio vago, localizado en el espacio parafaríngeo.


Abstract Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are part of 5% of soft tissue sarcomas. Although they are infrequent, their incidence increases in case of neurofibromatosis type 1. When these tumors are located in the head and neck, they are usually asymptomatic, so their diagnosis is delayed. Treatment is primarily surgical, with a significant recurrence rate and poor 5-year survival. We present a case report of a 52-year-old patient with a history of type 1 neurofibromatosis and a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the vagus, located in the parapharyngeal space.
