Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuropathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare and aggressive neoplasms.
  • Orbital MPNSTs are exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • This report details three distinct cases of malignant peripheral nerve tumors affecting the orbit.
  • Clinical presentations varied, highlighting the diverse manifestations of these orbital neoplasms.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in all three orbital cases.
  • Review of existing literature reveals limited data on orbital MPNSTs, emphasizing their rarity.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis and prompt management are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with orbital MPNSTs.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the specific characteristics and optimal treatment strategies for these rare orbital tumors.
