New and more precisely defined entities include malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumor (formerly known as melanotic schwannoma) and hybrid nerve sheath tumors. [4] [5] The majority of peripheral nerve tumors are benign tumors of the nerve sheath (usually schwannomas); on rare occasions, they are metastatic tumors or originate from the nerve cells.
Pleural schwannoma typically shows fatty degeneration, hemorrhage, perivascular hyalinization, and cystic formation thus giving heterogenous hyperintensities on T2 weighted images. Complete surgical removal of pleural schwannoma is the usual treatment. [11] Cellular schwannoma is a relatively rare variation. Cellular schwannoma is nearly ...
The primary Schwann cell differentiation and neoplastic proliferations are characteristics of peripheral nerve sheath tumors. For instance, the Schwann cell, which is the major neoplastic cell component of neurofibroma, [7] is cytologically distinguished by the expression of S-100 protein and wavy nuclear outlines.

Antoni A area of schwannoma with Verocay bodies (one annotated by circle) Verocay bodies were first described by Uruguayan neuro-pathologist José Juan Verocay in 1910. It is a required histopathological finding for diagnosing schwannomas (tumors of Schwann cells).
