1 Dermal 95% Neurofibroma / Nerve Sheath Tumor Plexiform (PN) 25-40% Atypical (ANF) Unknown? MPNST 15.8% Appearance, pruritus Appearance, pain, function loss, Malignant transformation Loss of NF1 + CDKN2A/B + PRC2, P53, others

2 Whole Body MRI: Identification of Distinct Nodular Lesions Round/oval, well demarcated, 3 cm, within or outside PN Lack the central dot sign characteristic of PN FDG avid in comparison to the surrounding PN Growth rate exceeds PN growth rate. Age 2 Age 9 Age 12

3 Development of Atypical Neurofibroma in Plexiform Neurofibroma Girl with NF1 and Neck/Chest PN Neurofibroma ANF Encapsulated lesion resected, no recurrence

4 Relationship of Growth Rate and Age Srivandana Akshintala PN grow most rapidly in young patients. PN growth 20% per year is rare in 15 year-old patients. Nodular lesions grow independently of age. Nodular lesions are not observed in very young children. Nodular lesions may have different biology: Atypical neurofibromas (CDKN2A/B deletion)

Stemmer-Rachamimov, Arie Perry Diagnosis Neurofibroma with atypia ( Ancient NF ) Cellular NF Atypical neurofibromatous neoplasms of uncertain biologic potential (ANNUBP) MPNST, low grade MPNST, high grade Proposed Definition NF with atypia alone, most commonly manifesting as scattered bizarre nuclei NF with hypercellularity, but retained NF architecture and <1 mf/50 HPF Schwann cell neoplasm with at least 2 of 4 features: cytologic atypia, loss of neurofibroma architecture, hypercellularity, mitotic index >1/50 HPF and <3/10 HPF Features of ANNUBP, but with mitotic index of 3-9/10 HPF and no necrosis MPNST with at least 10 mf/10 HPF or 3-9 mf/10 HPF combined with necrosis Miettinen M Perry A., Human Pathology 2017

12 Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) Aggressive soft tissue sarcoma (STS) 4% of all STS, 50% in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) Lifetime incidence of MPNST in NF1 15.8% Risk factors: Whole gene deletion, prior radiation therapy, ANF, large PN tumor burden Development in preexisting PN and ANF in NF1 LOF somatic alterations in PRC2 core components: EED and SUZ12 92% of Sporadic MPNSTs 70% NF1-associated MPNSTs 90% Radiotherapy-associated MPNSTs Clinical signs and symptoms of PN and MPNST overlap Complete surgical resection with negative margins required for cure No effective medical therapy No improvement in outcome
