Abstract

Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are commonly encountered and frequently pose challenges to the pathologist and the clinician. This review discusses the wide range of entities with an emphasis on new discoveries in the past decade. Clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and pathogenetic findings are discussed with an emphasis on clinical implications and differential diagnosis.
