Abstract
Benign Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumours (BPNSTs) are traditionally classified into schwannoma, neurofibroma and perinurioma. Due to advances in molecular techniques, hybrid BPNSTs containing more than one histologic types have been documented. Recent studies have demonstrated their frequent association with inherited syndromes like schwannomatosis and neurofibromatosis. Intraneural variant of hybrid neurofibroma/schwannoma is yet to be described. Here we report such a case in a 30-year-old male, who presented with a scalp swelling and histology showed intraneural neurofibromatous tumour admixed with schwannoma-like nodules. IHC (immunohistochemistry) showed variable S100 staining in neurofibromatous areas, diffuse S100 staining in schwannoma-like areas and negative EMA staining in the tumour.
