Cellular schwannoma (CS) is a rare, benign, nerve sheath tumor. It is slowly growing and painless, and it shows a predilection for the paravertebral region of the mediastinum and the retroperitoneum. CS rarely occurs in the skin. It has more cellular and more atypical cytological features than ordinary schwannoma but follows a benign clinical course. The key histological feature is a distinct predominance of cellular Antoni A tissue. Herein we report a case of CS presenting as a 5 x 5 x 3 cm, ulcerated and protruding tumor on the left ankle and describe its indolent clinical course.
细胞性神经鞘瘤(CS)是一种罕见的良性神经鞘瘤。它生长缓慢且无痛,好发于纵隔椎旁区域和腹膜后。CS很少发生于皮肤。与普通神经鞘瘤相比,它具有更多的细胞成分和更不典型的细胞学特征,但临床过程呈良性。关键的组织学特征是细胞性Antoni A组织明显占优势。在此我们报告一例CS,表现为左踝部一个5×5×3厘米、溃疡且突出的肿瘤,并描述其惰性的临床过程。
