[Intraneural perineurioma: an unusual nerve sheath tumor]
Abstract
We report a case of intraneural perineurioma, developed in the left cubital nerve, in a five-year old girl. This intraneural tumor is rare and shows a typical histologic appearance: concentric whorls of perineurial cells EMA+, PS100-, around nerve fibers. This tumor must be distinguished from extraneural or soft tissue perineurioma, also composed of perineurial cells, with distinct clinical presentation and histological appearance.
