Neurilemmomas are benign tumors which originate from Schwann cells. They rarely occur in the trachea or bronchus. We encountered two cases of endobronchial neurilemmoma and in this context, reviewed 48 cases previously reported in Japan. Neurilemmomas can occur in all regions of the bronchial tree and they often progress into both intraluminal and extraluminal spaces. Incomplete resection resul...

Schwannoma also known commonly as neurilemmoma and schwann cell tumor is a benign nerve sheath tumor. About 1/3(rd) cases of schwannoma arise from the head and neck region but rarely from the nasal and paranasal sinuses. The recurrence rate in these cases has reported to be very rare. We report a rare case of schwannoma in a 60-year-old woman arising from the maxillary sinus further eroding the...

Received February 2007 Accepted August 2007 INTRODUCTION There is a broad spectrum of neurogenic tumors involving the abdominal organs. These tumors can be classified as those originating from the ganglion cells (ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, neuroblastoma), paraganglionic system (pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma), and nerve sheaths (neurilemmoma, malignant nerve sheath tumor, neurofibro...

schwannoma(neurilemmoma) is a benign tumor originates from schwann cells. ancient (degenerated) schwannoma is a long-standing schwannoma with degenerative changes. head and neck region is one of the most common sites for nerve sheath tumors but intraosseous schwannoma is rare. the mandible is the most common site of occurrence for this lesion. we report a rare case of intraosseous ancient schwa...
