Abstract: (1098 Views)
Ancient schwannoma is one of the rarest subtypes of typical schwannoma, and just two cases of codaequina involvement with this tumor have been reported so far. This type of tumor has large areas without cells (Antony B) and a small part of pericellular areas (Antony A), which in the case of typical schwannoma, it is opposite. The pathological form of this tumor indicates the slow growth of the soft consistency and the benign course of these types of tumors.
