- Abstract
We report a case of schwannoma (neurilemmoma) predominantly composed of small cells arranged in rosettes around central collagenous cores and discuss the differential diagnosis of this unusual variant. Schwannoma with giant rosettes, previously designated as neuroblastoma-like schwannoma by Goldblum et al., must be differentiated from neuroblastoma, peripheral neuroectodermal tumors, and malignant change in a schwannoma.
