RESUMO
ABSTRACT: We present a rare case of malignant nerve sheath tumor of pleura referred for the evaluation of metastases and local invasion. FDG PET/CT demonstrated a hypermetabolic tumoral lesion extensively involving the right pleura with no involvement of mediastinal structures or pulmonary parenchyma and no clear evidence of distant metastasis. Malignant nerve sheath tumor of pleura is an extremely rare entity, and FDG PET/CT is valuable in demonstrating the extent of disease and can have potential role for postsurgical as well as postchemotherapy assessment of possible residual disease.
