Ancient schwannoma of the orbit.

The ancient schwannoma is a rare variant of a neurilemoma with a course typical of a slow-growing benign neoplasm. Histologically, it can be confused with a malignant mesenchymal tumor because of increased cellularity, nuclear pleomorphism, and hyperchromatism. Despite the degree of nuclear atypia, mitotic figures are absent. We describe the clinical and histopathologic features of an ancient schwannoma of the orbit. A need for early removal of such tumors is recommended to prevent complications.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of soft tissue tumours in correlation with histopathology.

FNAC of soft tissue tumours was done in 67 patients. The findings were compared with histopathologic findings. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 93.33% for all lesions 93.93% for malignant mesenchymal tumours 93.33% for benign mesenchymal tumours and 100% for metastatic lesions. FNAC of soft tissue tumours provided acceptable diagnostic accuracy when supported by appropriate clinical and other diagnostic data.
