  • Title: Plexiform schwannoma.
    Author: Kleinman GM, Sanders FJ, Gagliardi JM.
    Journal: Clin Neuropathol; 1985; 4(6):265-6. PubMed ID: 4075640.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old man had a multinodular tumor on his left index finger. Microscopy revealed a plexiform nerve sheath tumor resembling schwannoma. Including this case, 11 patients from 9 to 39 years old, have been reported with plexiform schwannoma. One patient had von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, and all but one were free of recurrence from 1.5 to 6 years later. Plexiform schwannoma should be distinguished from plexiform neurofibroma because it appears to have neither a significant association with neurofibromatosis nor a propensity for malignant transformation.
