Abstract
A 64-year-old man diagnosed with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) underwent tumor resection of his left thoracic wall 11 years prior to the study. He had no history of von Recklinghausen disease. Six months before admission, the patient developed a local recurrence and underwent tumor resection, but multiple lung metastases were found 6 months postoperatively. He presented at our hospital with abdominal bloating. Enhanced computed tomography revealed an obstruction of the small bowel with intussusception. We suspected an intestinal metastasis of MPNST, and surgery was performed. We performed the Hutchinson maneuver and reposited the intussusception, followed by tumor resection. The tumor was diagnosed as MPNST. We report a patient with MPNST presenting with bowel intussusception developing 11 years after the initial treatment.
