Neuroblastoma-like schwannoma of the lower labial mucosa: a rare morphologic variant of peripheral nerve sheath tumor

Neuroblastoma-like schwannoma is a rare variant of benign nerve sheath neoplasia, which is histologically characterized by small round neoplastic Schwann cells radially arranged around collagenous cores with a configuration of rosette-like structures. We report the first documented case of neuroblas...

Description
Summary:Neuroblastoma-like schwannoma is a rare variant of benign nerve sheath neoplasia, which is histologically characterized by small round neoplastic Schwann cells radially arranged around collagenous cores with a configuration of rosette-like structures. We report the first documented case of neuroblastoma-like schwannoma of the oral cavity in a 26-year-old male patient who presented with swelling in the lower labial mucosa.
