Core Tip	Microcystic/reticular schwannoma is a recently described variant of schwannoma with a predilection for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The striking reticular growth pattern and myxoid background may cause confusion with several other tumors commonly seen in the GI tract, in particular a gastrointestinal stromal tumor with prominent myxoid change and a signet ring cell carcinoma, especially on small biopsies. Herein we report for the first time a microcystic/reticular schwannoma arising primarily in the meso-appendix to highlight its existence and enhance pathologist’s and clinician’s awareness of this under-recognized variant of schwannoma so as to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
