Summary The imaging features and histology of two cases of non‐neurogenic intraneural malignancy – an epithelioid sarcoma and myeloma – are described. These cases are important reminders that not all nerve tumours are of neural origin and also show the crucial importance of a robust multidisciplinary approach to achieve the correct diagnosis and management.
