Scope note: Neoplasia que se origina en las CÉLULAS DE SCHWANN de los nervios craneales, periféricos y autónomos. Clínicamente, estos tumores pueden presentarse como una neuropatía craneal, tumor abdominal o de partes blandas, lesiones intracraneales, o con compresión de la médula espinal. Histológicamente, estos tumores son encapsulados, están muy vascularizados y presentan un patrón homogéneo de células bifásicas fusiformes que pueden tener apariencia de empalizada.

Scope note: A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.
