Abstract
Peripheral nerve tumors arise from Schwann cells and perineural cells. Most of them are benign but have overlapping entities with different course of prognosis, recurrence and malignant transformation. The practicing pathologist must be familiar with their morphological features. We report 22 cases of Neural tumors, of which 11 were Neurofibromas, 10 were Schwannomas and 1 was Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST).
