Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) frequently metastasizes to the lungs, although pleural metastasis is rare. This article reported a case of pleural metastasis of MPNST. The patient was a young man who presented with 1 week of shortness of breath with dry cough. He had a history of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The patient was diagnosed with MPNST pleural metastasis after a thoracoscopic pleural biopsy, which revealed short spindle cell hyperplasia, immunohistochemical staining for S-100(+), SOX-10(+), Ki-67(+) with a positive index of 20%, and H3K27Me3(-) in the pleural pathology.
