AB Nonrhadomyosarcomas  are  a  heterogeneous  group  of  soft  tissue  tumors  that  comprise  4%  of  all  childhood  malignancies.Degree  of  surgical  resection  and  age  are  important  prognostic  variables.NRSTSs  are  relatively  chemo-insensitive.Synovial  sarcoma  and  malignant  peripheral  nerve  sheath  tumors  are  the  most  common  pediatric  NRSTS.Surgical  resection  is  the  mainstay  of  successful  treatment  of  malignant  peripheral  nerve  sheath  tumors.Radiotherapy  may  be  indicated  in  the  setting  of  positive  surgical  margins.
