[Schwannoma with granular cells. Indirect evidence of the closeness of schwannoma and Abrikosov's tumor].

A woman of 29 developed a slowly growing subcutaneous tumor (1.5 X 1 X 0.5 cm) of the forehead. This neoplasm showed the histological pattern of neurilemmoma with the presence of dispersed rectangular cells having acidophilic fine granular cytoplasm imitating those of Abrikosov's tumor. This case as well as a few others described in the literature seem to confirm the thesis of neurilemmal origin of the so-called Abrikosov's myoblastoma.
