Perineurioma is an uncommon benign peripheral nerve sheath tumour.
General
- Benign tumour derived from perineurial cells (intraneural or soft tissue).
- ICD-O 9571/0
- WHO grade I
- Rarely malignant soft tissue perineurioma.
Variant:
- Reticular perineurioma.[1]
Macroscopy
- Intraneural perineurioma: segmental tubular enlargement of the nerve.
- Soft tissue perineurioma: Well circumscribed, but not encapsulated.
- Sclerosing perineurioma: Predilection for hands.[2]
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Perineural epithelioid cells.
- Abundant pale, fluffy appearing cytoplasm.
Note:
- May be intraneural.[3]
- Typical pseudo-onion bulbs.
- Long considered hypertrophic neuropathy.
- Rare (less than 1% of all nerve sheath tumours).
DDx:
- Neuroma.
- Neurofibroma.
- Schwannoma.
- S100 +ve, EMA -ve.[3]
- Liposarcoma - reticular perineurioma.
Images:

IHC
- S100 -ve.
- EMA +ve.
- CD34 ~65% +ve.[4]
Molecular
- Frequent TRAF7 mut.[6]
