Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Epithelioid schwannoma is an uncommon neoplasm.
  • Histopathologic diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and potential mimicry of other tumors.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • A rare case of epithelioid schwannoma with a plexiform growth pattern is presented.
  • The tumor was located in the skin of the breast.
  • The patient was a 47-year-old woman.

Findings:

  • The study describes a specific histopathologic variant of epithelioid schwannoma.
  • The plexiform architecture is a key feature highlighted in this case.
  • This finding contributes to the understanding of epithelioid schwannoma morphology.
