Schwannomalike Mixed Tumor of the Parotid Gland

Schwannoma-like pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid

“…16–18 Previous cases included four women and one man, aged from 39 to 75 years (Table 1). The majority of the lesions, as ours, were located in the parotid gland with one exception in the hard palate.…”

Diagnostic Difficulties in the Interpretation of Fine Needle Aspirate Samples in Salivary Lesions

“…41 However, rarely, schwannomalike areas have been reported in pleomorphic adenoma, which may cause diagnostic problems even in histologic sections. 42 Immunocytochemical staining for epithelial, myoepithelial and neural markers may help to differentiate them and also exclude other tumors such as spindle cell melanoma. 41 Parotid hemangiomas are tumors of early age that very rarely are subject to surgical examination.…”

Schwannoma of the parotid gland: Diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration cytology

“…[10] Other mimickers include the predominant spindle cell myoepitheliomas[11] and some of the low-grade sarcomas that may arise from the parotid gland. The schwannoma like mixed tumor of the parotid gland[12] must be also considered.…”
