MeSH Heading: Neurilemmoma
Tree Number(s): C04.557.465.625.650.595; C04.557.580.600.610.595; C04.557.580.625.650.595
Unique ID: D009442
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009442
Annotation: benign or malignant; coordinate IM with precoordinated organ/neoplasm term (IM)
Scope Note: A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp964-5)
Entry Term(s): Neurilemoma; Neurinoma; Schwannoma; Schwannomatosis, Plexiform
