  • Title: Diagnostic utility of immunohistochemical techniques in intramedullary Schwann-cell tumours.
    Author: Radhakrishnan VV, Saraswathy A, Radhakrishnan NS, Rout D.
    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 1993 Jan; 36(1):87-91. PubMed ID: 8354567.
    Abstract:
    Histopathologic features in two intramedullary schwann-cell tumours, closely resembled with those of fibrillary astrocytoma and could not be differentiated from each other by the conventional histochemical stains. However application of tumour markers-Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100 protein were found to be useful in differentiating these two tumours and thus helped in making an accurate histopathological diagnosis in these two patients.
