ABSTRACT
Plexiform schwannoma is an uncommon variant of schwannoma. Location and histological features are the main differences from conventional
schwannoma. We report a case of plexiform schwannoma and we briefly review its characteristics, remarking the importance of the histopathological
differential diagnosis. We also highlight the necessity of ruling out associated diseases.
