'''Schwannoma''' is a relatively common [[peripheral nerve sheath tumour]].
'''Schwannoma''' is a relatively common [[peripheral nerve sheath tumour]].
At the [[cerebellopontine angle|cerebellopontine (CP) angle]], they may be referred to as ''acoustic neuroma'' or ''vestibular schwannoma''.

The sections show a soft tissue spindle cell lesion, with cellular fibrillary areas (Antoni A) and pauci-cellular microcystic areas (Antoni B). There are also pauci-nuclear areas surrounded by clusters of nuclei (Verocay bodies).  Thick hyaline blood vessels are present within the lesion. There is no apparent nuclear atypia.  Mitotic activity is not readily apparent.  No nerve is seen adjacent to the lesion. The lesion is partially encapsulated by fibrous tissue. Focally, ink is seen on the lesional cells.
