Multiple Schwannomas

Schwannomas, the most frequently occurring benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath, generally remain as painless swellings for several years before diagnosis. Multiple schwannomas involving different nerves within the same extremity are rare. We report a rare case of a 61-year-old female who presented with multiple schwannomas in the palmar common and proper digital nerves, 15 years after the resection of a median nerve schwannoma within the same upper extremity. Using preestablished diagnostic criteria, she was diagnosed with segmental schwannomatosis. After careful surgical resection, biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and she recovered without neurological symptoms or limitations in the range of motion. Literature review revealed only four case series on segmental schwannomatosis, indicating its rarity. Postoperative sensory deficits are more likely in cases with multiple schwannomas in the common and proper digital nerves. We demonstrate that such complications can be avoided by meticulous dissection and separation of the tumors from the nerve fibers.

<p>Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from the neural crests (schwann cells), which are cells that form the nerve sheath of peripheral nerve fibers. Around 25-45% cases of schwannomas occur in the head and neck, of which less than 4% occurs in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. Isolated schwannomas of the maxillary sinus appear to be extremely rare. We report a case of an isolated maxillary schwannoma in a 45 years old lady who presented with swelling in the right cheek for 1 year and right sided nasal obstruction for 4 months. The swelling was not associated with epistaxis, fever, headache or visual disturbances. We report this case keeping in mind the rarity in occurrence of isolated maxillary schwannomas</p>

Leiomyomas though common benign tumors of smooth muscle cells are extremely rare in the male genitourinary tract. We present a case of an elderly male who presented with complaints suggestive of urinary bladder outlet obstruction since 1 year. His evaluation showed it due to a tumour arising from the left seminal vesicle. Excision of the tumor was done which was diagnosed on histopathology as leiomyoma. A brief case report and review of literature is being presented.

Chronic Shoulder Pain

 Osteoid osteoma (OO) is one of the common benign bone tumors but an uncommon cause of musculoskeletal pain. Its diagnosis is usually not difficult in classic clinical setup and in typical location in diaphyseal region. However, the diagnosis of juxta or intraarticular osteoid osteoma (IAOO) is challenging because of atypical clinical presentation responsible for delay in diagnosis and treatment. We report a rare case of IAOO as a cause of chronic shoulder pain to make clinician aware to help in its early diagnosis and management. A 28-year-old woman presented with chronic debilitating right shoulder pain. The diagnosis was established on CTscan after 2 years of onset of symptoms because of atypical clinical presentation as a chronic monoarthritis of the shoulder. CTscan demonstrated radiolucent nidus with central calcification with areas of surrounding sclerosis. The tumor was excised surgically and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. So, in the scenario of an unexplained chronic monoarthritis, the possibility of intraarticular osteoid osteoma should also be kept in mind. CT-scan remains the investigation of choice for demonstrating the nidus and surgical exicision relieves the symptoms.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v3i2.9615   Nepalese Journal of Radiology Vol.3(2)July-Dec, 2013: 77-80

  Introduction: Neurilemmoma or Schwannomas are benign tumour arising from the nerve sheath of myelinated nerve. Head neck neurilemmomas are not uncommon but intraoral region is very uncommon for this type of tumour. Case Report: A very rare case of buccal neurilemmoma in an eleven year old child, but much larger than other reported case is reported in the present article with review of literature. Discussion: Among the intraoral subsites, very few cases of neurilemmoma are reported to be situated in the buccal mucosa. Diagnostic dilemmas due to Fine needle aspiration cytology with features often resembling that of pleomorphic salivary adenomas are reported. The size of the tumour was larger than the cases reported in literature till date. The age of the patient was also much younger than the other reported cases, which made the present case unique.

Abstract Colonic perforation following ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. The common treatment is to remove the perforating catheter and replace with new one. In this case report we reported a rare case of colonic perforation following VP shunt and its anal migration. We have discussed its pathogenesis, management strategy and review of literature.
