Schwannomas are benign tumors that arise from the peripheral nerve sheath. Many variants of schwannomas exist, including plexiform, epithelioid, cellular, glandular, and ancient. The pseudoglandular subtype is extremely rare, as fewer than five cases of cutaneous pseudoglandular schwannomas have been reported based on our literature review.

The seminal case report of plexiform melanocytic schwannoma, published a decade ago, indicated that this is a rare variant of schwannoma demonstrating immunohistochemical expression of melanocytic markers, electron microscopic evidence of melanosome formation, and genetic features of a benign schwannoma. We report herein, a second example of this entity. Of added interest, our case showed pseudoglandular features, as previously recorded in other variants of schwannoma.

The number of recognized epithelioid soft tissue neoplasms continues to increase and includes epithelioid schwannoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and emerging entities such as sarcomas with GLI1 alterations. Here, we describe 23 cases of a previously unrecognized entity, provisionally termed "pseudoendocrine sarcoma." Pseudoendocrine sarcoma is a rare, distinctive tumor of uncertain lineage with a predilection for paravertebral soft tissue in older adults.

Background: Schwannoma is a rare benign, encapsulated tumor of the nerve sheath under the tongue, mostly occurring as solitary tumors with classical histological pattern and several common morphological variants. To our knowledge, multiple schwannomas with pseudoglandular element synchronously occurring under the tongue are rare; we report herein the first such case.
Case Summary: A 53-year-old man had first noticed an isolated asymptomatic mass under the tongue, and as the mass grew, the tongue was elevated.
