چکیده
Classically, the different subtypes of the peripheral nerve sheets tumors display typical morphological features which differentiate them from the other nervous tumors. Either schwannoma or neurofibroma have characteristic histological and immunohistochemical features. We present a case of peripheral nerve sheets hybrid tumor which have had histological and immunohistochemical features of neurofibroma and schwannoma.

Hybrid benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors are rare tumors exhibiting areas of more than one neural neoplasm such as schwannoma/neurofibroma, neurofibroma/perineurioma, or schwannoma/perineurioma. These tumors usually arise in the skin of the extremities and trunk, and less commonly affect extracutaneous sites. Here we report two cases of these tumors exhibiting hybrid features of schwannoma/...

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare malignant tumor that develops either from a preexisting neurofibroma or de novo. The cell of origin is believed to be the Schwann cell and possibly other nerve sheath cells. In this report, we describe a rare case of MPNST that arise from the socket of second left maxillary molar that has been already extracted in a young man. He was ref...

Background and Objective: Approximately 45% of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) occur in head and neck regions. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are less common and only 8-15% of these tumors occur in head and neck region.

In humans, neurofibroma and schwannoma are distinct entities within the group of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. In the veterinary literature, these tumors are often classified together simply as benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and diagnostic criteria for their subclassification are not well established. We describe peripheral nerve sheath tumors with microscopic, immunohistologic...

S chwannomas and neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (BPNSTs) that may be implicated in neurofibromatoses such as neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), and the more recently described schwannomatosis. When multiple schwannomas present in a single patient, their role in one of the aforementioned syndromes becomes much more likely. The latter of these syndr...
