Core Tip	Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an uncommon sarcoma with dismal prognosis. Low grade MPNST with skeletal muscle differentiation (malignant triton tumor) in cervical spine is vanishingly rare. The present case is remarkable because of its rare location, low grade histological features and unusual immunophenotype of the mature skeletal muscle component, which were not previously described. Thus, our study expands the morphological spectrum and the clinicopathological significance of this uncommon tumor. These novel findings should be interesting to the neuropathologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons.
