Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor With Osseous Heterologous Differentiation in Uncommon Locations (Heart and Retropharynx)

Thus, it is important to rule out other histologically similar tumors, particularly in cases arising in uncommon locations or tumors with divergent heterologous differentiation.
