  • Title: Malignant triton tumour of the spine: a case report.
    Author: Crandon IW, Char G, Reynolds C, Wellington P, Williams E.
    Journal: West Indian Med J; 1995 Dec; 44(4):143-5. PubMed ID: 8838053.
    Abstract:
    A malignant triton tumour is a malignant schwannoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, and is a very rare occurrence. We describe the case of a 33-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with paraplegia. Pathological examination of an intradural, extramedullary tumour excised at lumbar laminectomy demonstrated a malignant schwannoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. We believe this is the first documented case of a malignant triton tumour of the spine.
