Obturator Nerve Schwannoma as a Mimic of Ovarian Malignancy
The obturator nerve is an extremely rare location for schwannomas to originate, and such diagnosis is typically not considered among the imaging diagnostic possibilities for a cystic-solid pelvic mass. A 63-year-old female with a known pelvic mass presented with increasing pelvic pain. The mass, which had been followed by serial imaging over five years, was described showing mixed solid and cys...
متن کاملBenign epithelioid peripheral nerve sheath tumour resembling schwannoma.
Peripheral nerve sheath tumours (PNST) with epithelial appearing cells compromise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that are rare and diagnostically challenging. Of these, malignant PNSTs with epithelioid features (epithelioid MPNST) are commonly described in literature. However benign epithelioid PNSTs are rare and till date about 38 cases have been described in the literature. We report a be...

متن کاملSchwannoma of the cervical vagus nerve: A rare benign neurogenic tumor
A schwannoma, also known as an acoustic neuroma, is a benign nerve sheath tumor composed of schwann cells, which normally produce the insulating myelin sheath covering the peripheral nerves. Schwannoma, originating from the cervical vagus nerve, is an extremely rare neoplasm that usually occurs in men between the 3rd and 6th decades of life. The most common presentation is a painless, slow-grow...
متن کاملCellular schwannoma: a rare spinal benign nerve-sheath tumor with a pseudosarcomatous appearance: case report.
We report a case of cellular schwannoma, a rare benign nerve-sheath tumor in a 27 year-old woman. It was presented as a voluminous lesion in the paraspinal region that caused lumbar vertebral body destruction. These features, in association to the microscopic aspects of a hypercellular, pleomorphic neoplasm may lead to a false impression of a malignant tumor. Therefore, it is important to have ...
