Update on Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors - 31/01/19

Abstract |
Recent work has revealed SMARCB1/INI1 loss by immunohistochemistry in a subset of epithelioid schwannomas and explored the significance of cytologic atypia and increased mitotic activity in these tumors. Additional studies have evaluated the utility and limitations of histone H3K27 trimethylation in diagnosis of high-grade and low-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. New terminology regarding nerve sheath tumors in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients was proposed during a 2016 conference to better define guidelines for classification of this group of tumors. This review highlights novel findings and practical applications relating to these topics in peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
