Acoustic neuroma pathophysiology



Acoustic neuroma arises from Schwann cells, which are the cells that are normally involved in the conduction of nervous impulses along axons, nerve development and regeneration. On microscopic histopathological analysis, acoustic neuroma may display two types of growth patterns Antoni type A and Antoni type B. Antoni type A growth pattern is composed of elongated cells with cytoplasmic process arranged in fascicles, little stromal matrix and verocay bodies. Antoni type B growth pattern is composed of loose meshwork of cells, less densely cellular matrix, microcysts and myxoid change.



Microscopic Pathology

They can display two types of growth patterns:[2] Photomicrograph of Antoni A tissue and Antoni B tissue within a schwannoma. The highly cellular Antoni A region on the right of the field is contrasted with the loosely organized hypocellular Antoni B region on left of the field (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 400).
