FIGURE 4: Immunohistochemical expression patterns of neurofibromin,p16 and EGFR among malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors and cellular schwannomas.
A: Neurofibromin stain is retained diffusely in cellular schwannoma; B: Neurofibromin is lost in tumor cells in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, and is retained in vasculature and inflammatory cells; C: p16 stain is diffusely positive in cellular schwannoma; D: p16 expression is lost in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, and is retained in vasculature; E: EGFR stain is negative in cellular schwannoma; F: Diffuse EGFR expression in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
