2 Clinical Features

MPNSTs can occur in children with NF-1 but are otherwise distinctly uncommon in children in comparison to that in adult population.

The tumor often presents as an enlarging mass, and may be associated with pain or dysesthesia, but may not cause either in most cases.

The patients or their parents observe a recent enlargement of a preexisting mass.

Weakness, paresthesias, and pain can be observed in some examples, but are not consistently identified in all patients.

Most MPNSTs present after the first decade, yet rare examples affect younger patients or occur as congenital tumors.
