Antoni Areas
Antoni Areas were discovered by Swedish neurologist Nils Antoni in 1920.[1] Antoni Areas are distinct histopathologic cells required to diagnose a Schwannomas. Two types exist: Antoni A and Antoni B. Antoni A are referred to as the nuclear palisading eosinophilic cellular areas densely compacted with Schwann cells.[2][3] Antoni A areas are associated with Verocay bodies.[3] Antoni B areas are hypocellular, loosely arranged myxoid or hyalinized stroma that is at times filled with deformed blood vessels or degenerated Antoni A tissue.[4] Antoni B areas can be lacking in large mitotically active schwannomas and it will mimic a sarcoma.[3] Within a schwannoma, these areas are arranged in a fascicle format with an alternating pattern of dense and loose cellular areas.[3]
