Abstract
A solitary malignant schwannoma with glandular differentiation occurred in the forearm of a 54‐year‐old man. The patient displayed no stigmata of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. He did well after conservative surgery and there are no signs of recurrence 5 years after operation. The rarity of the tumour and the unusually long survival are points of interest. The histogenesis of the glandular component is discussed.Keywords
