On permanent section, the neoplasm expressed neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Stains for CD34, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and Tyrosinase were negative. The differential included Schwannoma variants, plexiform neuroma or neurofibromatosis (ref. 1, 2 below). The patient had no evidence of neurofibromatosis, and the final diagnosis was schwannoma.
