  Schwannomas constitute one of the most common benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Schwannomas can occur anywhere in the body occasionally with unusual presentation. FNB does not appear to provide an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Complete excision of the mass should be the goal of surgical excision. In this case series, we studied various clinicomorphological features of schwannomas for duration of one year. Immunostaining were done using anti-S100 protein and a panel of antibody to confirm the diagnosis cases as well as in cases whose histological picture simulated schwannoma. Out of the 9 cases in our study, two cases showed unusual presentations. Schwannoma often gives a differential diagnosis of similar benign soft tissue tumors. All cases were benign schwannoma except one case with rectal growth turned out to be gastrointestinal stromal tumor on immunohistochemistry. Herein,.. Read More»
