Overview
Acoustic neuroma may be classified into three subtypes based on MRI scan, and into four subtypes based on microscopic histopathology.[1]
Classification
Based on the MRI scan, acoustic neuromas can be classified into three subtypes:
- Entirely intracanalicular: The entire tumor is completely within the bony canal
- Intracranial extension without brain stem distortion
- Intracranial extension with brain stem distortion
Based on microscopic histopathology, acoustic neuroma can be classified into four subtypes:[2]
- Conventional schwannoma
- Cellular schwannoma
- Plexiform schwannoma
- Melanotic schwannoma
- Conventional schwannoma: It is the most common
- Cellular schwannoma: It may mimic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
- Plexiform schwannoma: It may mimic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor if cellular- especially in childhood
Plexiform schwannoma with high magnifaction - Melanotic schwannoma: It may be confused with melanoma.
Psammomatous melanotic schwannoma
It is associated with psammomatous form (psammomatous melanotic schwannoma) and with a heritable disorder (Carney complex). The Carney complex, also known as Carney syndrome, NAME syndrome and LAMB syndrome, is a bunch of things that occur together due to some genetic problem. It consists of:[3]
- Cutaneous lentigines
- Myxomas (skin (subcutaneous), subcutanous, heart)
- Endocrine neoplasms
