  • Title: Benign neurilemmoma (schwannoma) masquerading as a pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular salivary gland.
    Author: Mair S, Leiman G.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1989; 33(6):907-10. PubMed ID: 2555990.
    Abstract:
    A case of solitary benign neurilemmoma (schwannoma) arising in the submandibular region is presented. The tumor was mistaken clinically for an enlarged submandibular salivary gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology made an erroneous diagnosis of a pleomorphic adenoma, predominantly stromal in composition. Histology of the resection specimen resulted in the correct diagnosis of a benign schwannoma. Review of the needle aspirate demonstrated cytologic features that should enable both the correct diagnosis of this neoplasm and its distinction from pleomorphic adenoma, which it mimicked in this location.
