title: [Tumor of the peroneal compartment].
abstract: Degenerative nuclear atypia in mesenchymal neoplasia, especially in benign nerve sheath tumors, may become a pitfall leading to a wrong diagnosis of a sarcoma. Using a case of degenerative (ancient) schwannoma as an example, the characteristic findings of degenerative atypia are presented and discussed.
