Glandlike elements in a peripheral neurosarcoma

Abstract

T HE occurrence of structures resembling - glands capable of secretory function in peripheral nerve tumors appears to be quite rare. Comparatively little discussion on this subject has appeared in the literature, and the histogenesis of such elements remains in doubt. The following description of a glandlike, niucus-producing element in a neurosarcoma of the neck is presented, since it is the first such found in our material, and especially since the exact counterpart of this lesion has apparently not been previously observed.
