The malignancy of these is very rare and there are few cases reported in the literature.Clinical case:A 62-year-old male with a diagnosis of ulcerated malignant schwannoma in the distal third of the posterior aspect of the right thoracic limb who attended the oncosurgery service.The CT scan reported a large solid tumor, predominantly hypodense, with a probable origin dependent on the poorly defined triceps brachii muscle.
