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.
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.

Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumor (previously known as melanotic schwannoma) is a rare aggressive peripheral nerve sheath tumor that typically develops in conjunction with spinal or visceral autonomic nerves, consisting uniformly of Schwann cells displaying melanocytic differentiation.

Schwannomatosis is an extremely rare genetic disorder closely related to the more-common disorder neurofibromatosis (NF). Originally described in Japanese patients, [1] it consists of multiple cutaneous schwannomas, central nervous system tumors, and other neurological complications, excluding hallmark signs of NF.
