Melanotic schwannoma of the sympathetic ganglia: pathological and clinical characteristics.

A E Abbott1, R C Hill, M A Flynn, S McClure, G F Murray.   

Abstract

Reports of melanin-producing tumors of Schwann cell origin are extremely rare. Reports of only 9 such tumors arising from sympathetic ganglia have been published previously. Two new cases of melanotic schwannoma of sympathetic ganglia are reported. The pathological and clinical characteristics of these unusual melanotic tumors are discussed.
