A conventional histopathological and quantitative morphometric study of 28 capsulated peripheral and spinal nerve benign schwannomas demonstrated linear and parabolic correlation between Antoni B tissue, vascularity and tumour size. The results support the endoneural connective tissue origin of Antoni B, and suggest a model of tumour growth that is partially limited by the growth potential of the Antoni B and/or the vascular component.
