A malignant epithelioid schwannoma of the oral cavity was diagnosed in an 8-year-old domestic short-hair cat. The mass was located in the gingiva of the upper left premolar to molar region and showed multinodular growth patterns. The mass comprised epithelioid cells arranged in densely packed sheets. Tumor cells had large, round to oval nuclei with prominent nucleoli and an abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, most of the tumor cells were positive for S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein and vimentin, but all lacked melanoma-associated antigen and muscle and neuroendocrine markers. Stains for type IV collagen showed linear immunoreactivity around single cells and groups of cells. Ultrastructurally, tumor cells were separated by a well-defined basement membrane, and interdigitating cell processes were observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of feline malignant epithelioid schwannoma.

Expressway rest areas need to accommodate people of various attributes. As for seniors and families with children, though easy-to-use restrooms and pictogram signs are provided, no standards to make the entire rest area more convenient for them have been set. Thus, we have behavior-tracked seniors and families with children to find out what is needed to provide high-quality rest in their activities other than the usual rest-area activities, like having a meal or using the rest room. The results revealed that both seniors and families with children spend their time strolling in the gardens and indoor facilities.
