title: Peripheral nerve tumour composed of neurilemmoma and haemangioma elements.
abstract: Five cases of a peripheral nerve tumour with both neurilemmoma and haemangioma components are reported. Three tumours were intraspinal, one tumour originated in the acoustic nerve, and one was in the brachial plexus. Because of rapid progression these mixed tumours should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraspinal malignancies.
