Palisaded Encapsulated (“Solitary Circumscribed”) Neuroma of the Oral Cavity: A Review of 55 Cases

Abstract: We describe the clinicopathologic characteristics of 55 oral palisaded encapsulated (solitary circumscribed) neuromas (PEN/SCN). Fifty-five cases of PEN/SCN in 54 patients were reviewed. Lesions were categorized according to their histologic pattern, partial or complete encapsulation, presence of Verocay bodies and presence of a parent peripheral nerve. In 13 selected cases immunohistochemical evaluation for neuronal markers (S-100, GFAP, NFP, EMA) was performed. When immunoreaction with EMA was weak, claudin-… Show more

“…The incidence rate of PEN in the oral mucosal biopsy specimens were 0.04% to 0.05% in the previous reports [4,7], and PEN accounts for approximately 22% to 25% of all peripheral nerve origin in the oral cavity [4,7]. The mean age of PEN on the oral mucosa was between 37 to 54 years [3,4,7,8] and it was almost the same tendency that of the skin's as between 40 and 60 years [2]. As for sex difference, men were almost predominant to women [3,7,8].…”
