ABSTRACT
Histopathologic features in two intramedullary schwann-cell tumours, closely resembled with those of fibrillary astrocytoma and could not be differentiated from each other by the conventional histochemical stains. However application of tumour markers-Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100 protein were found to be useful in differentiating these two tumours and thus helped in making an accurate histopathological diagnosis in these two patients.
