Malignant epithelioid schwannoma is a rare variant of malignant nerve sheath tumor that can be confused with both other neuroectodermal neoplasms and carcinomas. The light microscopic and immunohistochemical findings of a malignant epithelioid schwannoma arising in the mandibular region of a 27-year-old female are described. The differential diagnosis of this unusual neoplasm from malignant melanoma and poorly differentiated carcinoma is discussed.
