Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath spinal tumours are relatively rare. A primary spinal location at the first onset is rarely reported in the literature, thus the clinical features and therapeutic results of these spinal malignant tumours are not defined. We describle three patients with primary spinal malignant schwannomas and stress the surgical mananement of these cases.
