MSK path IV Flashcards
tumor with schwann cell differentiation
peripheral nerve sheath tumor
3 common types of peripheral nerve sheath tumor
schwannoma
neurofibroma
malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
peripheral nerve sheath tumors are assoc with what familial tumor syndromes
NF I, NF II, schwannomatosis
what is a consistent finding in all schwannomas
loss of expresion of NF 2 that produces merlin
schwannomas
benign tumors that exhibit schwann cell differentiation and arise from peripheral nn
Antoni A and Antoni B
A- cellular
B- noncellular
schwannoma
Verocary bodies
anuclear rows
schwannoma
Sx from schwannomas
usually from compression
tinnitus, hearing loss
in cranial vault where are schwannomas
cerebellopontine angle where attach to CN VIII
acoustic neuroma
schwannoma in CPA
What is a neurofibroma
benign nerve sheath tumor
heterogenous in composition–neoplastic schwann cells admixed with perineurial like cells, fibroblasts, mast cells and CD34+ spindle cells
cell marker for neurofibroma
CD34+
pedunculated nodule with CD34+
supergicial cutaneous NF
pedunculated nodules all over with CD34+
NF1- associated
large plaquelike elevation of skin CD34+
diffuse NF, assoc NF1
plexiform neurofibromas
deep or superficial locations in association with nerve roots or large nerves and ALWAYS NF1 related
guaranteed to see what with NF-1
plexiform neurofibromas
what are malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors though to arise from
malignant transformation of plexiform neurofibromas
divergent differentiation
focal areas that have other lines of differentiation
glandular, cartilaginous, osseous, rhabdomyoblastic morphology
triton tumor
Malignant PNST with divergent differentiation
cafe au lait spots
NF 1
NF 2
auto dominant

b/l CN VIII schwannoma and multiple meningiomas
