Case Discussion
The patient went on to have this mass excised.
Histology
The tumor is a peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Most areas are most consistent with a schwannoma. However, in view of the presence of areas with a histologic appearance reminiscent of neurofibroma and the occurrence of rare axons within the lesion, a co-existing neurofibroma component cannot be excluded.
