Peripheral nerve sheath tumours, abbreviated PNSTs, are common in neuropathology and occasionally show-up elsewhere. A very common PNST is the schwannoma.
Classification
A classification:[1]
- Benign:
- Malignant:
Specific diagnoses
Schwannoma
Main article: Schwannoma
Perineurioma
General
- Benign tumour derived from perineurial cells.
Variant:
- Reticular perineurioma.[2]
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Perineural epithelioid cells.
- Abundant pale, fluffy appearing cytoplasm.
Note:
- May be intraneural.[3]
DDx:
- Neuroma.
- Neurofibroma.
- Schwannoma.
- S100 +ve, EMA -ve.[3]
- Liposarcoma - reticular perineurioma.
Images:
IHC
- S100 -ve.
- EMA +ve.
- CD34 ~65% +ve.[4]
Traumatic neuroma
General
- Consequence of trauma - diagnosis requires history of trauma.
- May mimic a cancer recurrence at the site of a surgery.[6]
Microscopic
- +/-Nerve - that was injured.
- Grouping of disordered nerve fibre bundles in fibrous tissue (collagen) - key feature.
- +/-Myxoid change.
- +/-Axonal swellings (ovoid pink/purple blobs).
DDx:
- Morton neuroma (foot).
Images:
- Traumatic neuroma (nih.gov).[6]
- Traumatic neuroma - several images (upmc.edu).
- Traumatic neuroma (sarcomaimages.com).
- Traumatic neuroma (nih.gov).[8]
Sign out
SOFT TISSUE LESION, RIGHT WRIST, EXCISION: - TRAUMATIC NEUROMA. - BENIGN FIBROADIPOSE TISSUE.
Micro
The sections show disordered nerve fibre bundles in fibrous tissue.
Palisaded encapsulated neuroma
- Abbreviated PEN.
- AKA palisaded and encapsulated neuroma.
General
- Flesh-colour papule - classically on the face.[9]
- Isolated finding - not associated with a systemic disease or malignancy.[10]
- Superficial skin.[11]
Microscopic
Features:[9]
- Encapsulated dermal spindle cell lesion.
- Fasciular arrangement.
- Neural-type spindle cells:
- Not vacuolated.
- Nuclei have pointy ends.
- Intralesional clefts.
- Useful to differentiate from schwannoma.
DDx:
- Schwannoma:[9]
- No intralesional clefts.
- More variability in the cellularity.
- May be deep.
Other considerations:
- Leiomyoma - cytoplasm not vacuolated, nuclei more elliptical.
Images:
IHC
Features:[10]
- S100 +ve.
- EMA +ve (capsule of lesion).
Neurofibroma
Main article: Neurofibroma
Includes discussion of plexiform neurofibroma.
Neurothekeoma
General
- Rare.
- Female > male.
Microscopic
Features:[12]
- Superficial dermal lesion:
- Usu. lobulated or micronodular architecture - key feature.
- +/-Focal sheeting.
- Spindle/epithelioid morphology with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm - key feature.
- +/-Inflammation around lesion.
- +/-Surrounded by collagen.
- Usu. lobulated or micronodular architecture - key feature.
Notes:
- No atypia.
- Mitoses rare/none.
- Often poorly circumscribed.
Subtypes:[13]
- Cellular.
- Myxoid.
- Intermediate.
DDx:
- Dermatofibroma.
- Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma -- have cystic blood filled spaces, inflammation.[14]
Images:
IHC
Features:[12]
- NKI/C3 (AKA NKI-C3) +ve.
- NSE +/-ve.
Others:[15]
- Vimentin +ve.
- CD10 +ve.
- Microphthalmia transcription factor +ve.
- PGP9.5 +ve.
Exclusionary:
- S100 -ve.
- Exclude other peripheral nerve sheath tumours. (???)
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour
Main article: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour
Malignant triton tumour
- Abbreviated MTT.
- AKA malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation.[16]
General
- Rare.
- Considered to be a variant of MPNST.
- Prognosis worse that conventional MPNST.[16]
- Five year survival ~14%.[17]
- Diagnosis may require clinical information, i.e. individual has a history of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Note:
- A handful of benign triton tumours are reported; these are considered neuromuscular hamartomas.[18]
Microscopic
Features - Woodruff criteria - all three required:[16]
- (a) Tumour arise from a peripheral nerve or (b) individual has NF1 or (c) lesion a metastasis arising in the context of (a) or (b).
- Schwann cell tumour characteristics.
- Rhabdomyoblasts.
- Eccentric nucleus.
- Moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- +/-Cross-striations.
DDx:
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour.
- Adult fibrosarcoma.
- Synovial sarcoma.
- Rhabdomyosarcoma.
- Carcinosarcoma.
IHC
Features:
- S100 +ve/-ve -- usu. focal if positive.[16]
- Leu-7 +ve/-ve.
- Myelin basic protein +ve/-ve.
Rhabdomyoblastic differentiation:[16]
- Desmin.
- Actin.
- Myogenin.
EM
- +/-Sarcomeres.[16]
Morton neuroma
General
- Benign foot condition.
- Uncommon.
- Usu. interdigital nerves.
Etiology:
- Indirect nerve trauma.
Clinical:[19]
- Foot pain.
Microscopic
Features:[19]
- Extensive fibrosis around and within the nerve.
- Digital artery:
- +/-Thrombosis.
- +/-Arterial thickening.
