===General===
{{Main|Perineurioma}}

===Macroscopy===
*Intraneural perineurioma: segmental tubular enlargement of the nerve.
*Soft tissue perineurioma: Well circumscribed, but not encapsulated.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_Sternberg5_424>{{Ref Sternberg5|424}}</ref>
*Perineural epithelioid cells.
**Abundant pale, fluffy appearing cytoplasm.
 
Note:
*May be intraneural.<ref name=Ref_Sternberg5_424>{{Ref Sternberg5|424}}</ref>
**Typical pseudo-onion bulbs.
**Long considered hypertrophic neuropathy.
**Rare (less than 1% of all nerve sheath tumours).

*[[Neuroma]].
*[[Neurofibroma]].
*[[Schwannoma]].
**S100 +ve, EMA -ve.<ref name=Ref_Sternberg5_424>{{Ref Sternberg5|424}}</ref>
