Histology results showing (A) a typical field of liponeurocytoma (note the lipomatous cells admixed with neurocytes), (B) a neurocyticpredominant area of the tumour (hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification ×200), (C) strong positivity of the neurocytes, whereas the admixed lipomatous cells are immunonegative (synaptophysin immunohistochemistry, original magnification ×200) and (D) bland regular nuclei with open chromatin (hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification ×400).
