Benign glandular schwannoma.

A rare example of a benign glandular schwannoma is reported. Further attention is drawn to this unusual subtype of schwannoma and the clinical parameters of the reported cases are compared with those of other types of schwannomas. The tumors tend to be small and superficial, and by contrast with malignant glandular schwannomas, the benign variant does not appear to be associated with von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis.
