This article reported a case of MPNST in oral and maxillofacial region, and discussed the clinical manifestation of MPNST, histopathological and imaging features, treatment and prognosis with related literature review. MPNST is a kind of high malignant tumor, recurrence rate after surgery is high, local recurrence and distant metastasis is the main cause of death.
