Microcystic/Reticular Schwannoma

Preferred Label : Microcystic/Reticular Schwannoma;

NCIt synonyms : Macrocystic Schwannoma;

NCIt definition : The rarest histopathologic subtype of Schwannoma. The reported cases have been located in the gastrointestinal submucosa or subcutaneous tissue. Morphologically it is characterized by the presence of a microcyst-rich network of spindle cells with minimal amount of cytoplasm and Antoni A tissue.;
