Rectal neurogenic sarcoma: case report and review of the literature

A neurogenic sarcoma without NF-1 was discovered in a 73-year-old woman in the anorectal region, an unusual site for these tumors. The tumor was of high-grade malignancy and deeply located with mesorectal infiltration; it did not originate from a major nerve. We presume an origin from less differentiated neural crest cells and present a review of the literature on the best treatment for these neoplasms.
