Summary The finding of intracellular septate desmosome-like structures in a human acoustic Schwannoma maintained in an organ culture system is detailed. These structures differ in their cellular location from the intercellular septate junctional complexes which have been described in invertebrates and in a few vertebrate tissues. They also differ from the inter- and intramitochondrial septate structures which have occasionally been reported, in that they are not related to mitochondria but rather to the cell plasma membrane. Intracellular septate complexes of this type have not previously been described.
