Intraneural perineurioma is a rare clinical entity, which tends to affect major nerve trunks in the upper extremities. On light microscopy, numerous pseudo-onion-bulb structures having a central clear area are surrounded by concentric layers of eosinophilic elongate cells having spindled nuclei. Immunohistochemistry of concentric cells stains positive for epithelial membrane antigen but negative for S100 protein. Because of the small number of cases, no consensus has been made on proper treatment of this entity. Although none of the patients who have had excision of tumor with nerve grafting have had sensory nerve recovery, we believe each patient should be individualized until more data are available regarding this tumor.
