Perineurioma is an uncommon benign peripheral nerve sheath tumour.

General

  • Benign tumour derived from perineurial cells (intraneural or soft tissue).
    • ICD-O 9571/0
    • WHO grade I
  • Rarely malignant soft tissue perineurioma.

Variant:

  • Reticular perineurioma.[1]

Macroscopy

  • Intraneural perineurioma: segmental tubular enlargement of the nerve.
  • Soft tissue perineurioma: Well circumscribed, but not encapsulated.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Perineural epithelioid cells.
    • Abundant pale, fluffy appearing cytoplasm.

Note:

  • May be intraneural.[2]
    • Typical pseudo-onion bulbs.
    • Long considered hypertrophic neuropathy.
    • Rare (less than 1% of all nerve sheath tumours).

IHC

Features:[3][4]

  • S100 -ve.
  • EMA +ve.
  • CD34 ~65% +ve.[3]
