1943 J. M. Beattie et al. Textbk. Pathol. (ed. 4) xxviii. 1141 A specific nerve-sheath tumour was first described by Verocay in 1908 as a ‘neurinoma’, but this has since been re-named more appropriately a neurilemmoma by Purdy Stout, of New York.
1948 R. A. Willis Pathol. Tumours liv. 828 Masson's and Stout's names ‘Schwannoma’ and ‘neurilemmoma’, and Mallory and Penfield's name ‘perineural fibroblastoma’, express the two opposing views regarding the histogenesis of this distinctive nerve-sheath tumour.
1954 L. V. Ackerman & J. A. Del Regato Cancer (ed. 2) vii. 202 Neurilemomas [1947 (ed. 1) neurilemmomas] have also been reported to arise in the nasal fossa.
1962 Lancet 29 Dec. 1354/2 The pre-operative diagnosis rested between a neurilemmoma of the posterior tibial nerve and compression of the nerve by the retinaculum.
1984 J. R. Tighe & D. R. Davies Pathol. (ed. 4) x. 75 These give rise to nerve sheath tumours, neurofibromes and neurilemmomas.
1990 Carcinogenesis 11 1316/2 This corresponds to Antoni A-type neurilemmoma, the loosely arranged areas being defined as Antoni B-type neurilemmoma.
1997 Head & Neck 19 440 Although nerve sheath tumors (neurilemmoma and neurofibroma) can occur on any nerve with Schwann cells, laryngeal involvement is very uncommon.
