    Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, with fewer than ten cases reported in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • 2

    This case represents the first reported instance of MPNST arising in the ileocecal region of a 62-year-old male patient.

  • 3

    Preoperative diagnosis of MPNST is challenging due to overlapping features with other colonic tumors, often leading to misdiagnosis.

  • 4

    The definitive diagnosis of colonic MPNST was confirmed through postoperative pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.

  • 5

    The patient underwent successful laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy and showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at six-month follow-up.
