Giant Abdominoperineal Malignant Schwannoma: An Unusual Presentation and Surgical Challenge
Schwannoma is a benign tumor arising from the Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. These are usually benign but malignant transformation can occur in larger lesions. The definitive diagnosis of malignancy can only be made after final histopathological report. The literature reports large pelvic and perineal schwannomas with few being malignant. We report the first case of such giant malignant ab...
متن کاملNeuromyotonia: an unusual presentation of intrathoracic malignancy.
A 48 year old woman is described who presented with increasing muscular rigidity and who was found to have a mediastinal tumour.

The abnormal activity may have arisen at the anterior horn cell level. Mar...

Thoracic neuroblastomas are rare in the neonatal period. They may be asymptomatic or cause respiratory distress. Congenital haemothorax present at birth, as the result of intravascular disseminated coagulopathy, is an uncommon initial presentation of intrathoracic neuroblastomas.
متن کاملUnusual median nerve schwannoma: a case presentation.
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are common soft tissue neoplasms and their characterization is often challenging. Although the surgical pathology defines some typical entities, some degree of controversy regarding the classification of these tumors still exists. Newer imagistic and histopathological techniques are crucial for their accurate diagnosis and grading. We present an unusual case of me...
متن کاملMalignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in Neurofibromatosis Type I : Unusual Presentation of Intraabdominal or Intrathoracic Mass
A malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an extremely rare soft tissue tumor in the general population. On the other hand, there is a higher incidence of MPNST in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (von Recklinghausen's disease). The common sites are the extremities, trunk, head and neck. However, an intraabdominal or intrathoracic manifestation is uncommon. This paper reports t...
