Cystic Schwannoma

Schwannomas are benign tumours that arise from the Schwann cells of nerve fibres. They commonly occur in the head and neck, mediastinum and extremities. They are extremely rare in the pelvis. These are usually slow growing tumours and are often detected incidentally. Pre-operative diagnosis is extremely difficult as there are no definitive signs on imaging. Aspiration biopsy is often inconclusive or misleading. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic. As these tumours are often large in size, open excision is most commonly performed. We describe a case of a large, cystic schwannoma of the pelvis causing bladder outlet obstruction and bilateral hydroureteronephrosis. Complete surgical excision was performed laparoscopically.

Benign Tumours

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are benign tumours of Schwann cells. They can arise from peripheral, cranial, or autonomic nerves. Malignant transformation of benign schwannoma is very rare. Schwannoma is treated by complete surgical excision. In this case report, we present the demographics and clinico-pathological profile of a case of Schwannoma in the tongue. A 40-year-old male patient presented with a slow-growing swelling beneath the tongue for the past 5 weeks. On intraoral examination, a 2.5×1.5 cm mass was seen at the ventral aspect of tongue. There was no enlargement of lymph nodes. Excisional biopsy was done under local anaesthesia. Histopathological features were suggestive of schwannoma. Despite its rarity of occurrence intra-orally, a differential diagnosis of Schwanomma should be considered for proper management as it favours good prognosis. Key Words : Schwannoma, Neurilemmoma, Schwann cells, Neurofibroma.

Rule Out

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

Oral Soft Tissue

Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin (mature adipocytes) that are comparatively uncommon in the oral cavity corresponding to less than 4.4% of all benign oral soft tissue tumors. Clinically, they present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic masses. Histopathologically, they appear as thinly encapsulated lesion composed of mature adipocytes with inconspicuous vascularity. The pathogenetic mechanisms of oral lipomas are still unclear. They are usually treated by surgical excision and bear excellent prognosis. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in 54 year old male patient in the left lower lingual alveolar mucosal region that was treated by surgical excision using electrocautery without any postsurgical complication. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence.

Conjunctival stromal tumor (COST) is an emerging entity with only a limited number of cases reported in the literature. In this report, we describe 2 additional cases, review the accumulative clinical and histopathological features and expand on the immunophenotypic property of this entity. COST appears to have a sporadic presentation, affecting both sexes and patients of variable ethnicity and age group and predominantly occurring on the bulbar conjunctiva as a slow-growing asymptomatic or slightly tender mass-like lesion. Histopathologically, COST is characterized by singly dispersed spindle to round cells, often with some degree of degenerative nuclear atypia, within a myxomatous to collagenous stroma. Lesional cells are characteristically positive for CD34 and vimentin, negative for S100, SOX10 and STAT6 and show a normal pattern of staining with RB1 by immunohistochemistry. The reported cases to date have shown an indolent biological behavior, reliably treated by a complete surgical excision.

Myxomas are the most common benign tumours of the heart, majority of them arise from left atrium. They can have varied presentations, with asymptomatic patients to be picked up in routine screening at one end of spectrum to dangerous embolic manifestations at the other end of the spectrum. We report a case of left atrial myxoma distorting the mitral valve apparatus causing severe eccentric mitral regurgitation. Patient underwent complete surgical excision of the tumour along with mitral valve repair.

Benign tumours of the tonsils are rare. Majority of these lesions are diagnosed as squamous papilloma. Hamartoma is a benign tumor-like malformation. Hamartoma in tonsils is unique and only a few anecdotal cases are reported until now. Tonsillar hamartoma usually presents as unilateral or bilateral polyp with clinical features of dysphagia or foreign body sensation. Histopathologically, normal tissues are noted in a haphazard or disorganised way. We hereby present a case of 31-year-old male patient with tonsillar hamartomatous polyp presenting with the symptom of a foreign body sensation in the throat. The diagnosis of this entity and its distinction from other clinico-pathological mimickers require histopathological examination and awareness. A complete surgical excision is curative without any evidence of disease recurrence.

Spinal Schwannoma

Spinal Schwannoma originates from the Schwann cells, hence it is called Schwannoma. The tumor localization is in various parts of the spinal cord, but prevails in cervical and thoracic. In the literature 70 to 80% of spinal schwannomas are reported to be intradural in location, and 15% with both intradural and extradural components. All 3 cases were female in their 4th-5th decade, presented with either low back pain, radiculopathy, weakness of both lower limbs associated with urinary incontinence. MRI revealed a well defined mass adjacent to conus medullary area located intradural, extramedullary. All three patients underwent microscopic assisted excision of the tumour. All patients had Good Early Outcome. Spinal schwannoma causing Conus Medullary Syndrome is rare. Back pain and radicular pain were most common early presenting symptoms while urinary symptoms occur later. Schwannomas typically arise from a single nerve root originating from the schwann cells. To obtain total resection, the affected nerve root is commonly sacrificed in order to prevent recurrence. Intradural Extramedullary Schwannoma, even presented at a later stage with significant neurological deficit, has a Good Outcome post operatively owing to its Benign nature, Extramedullary location, and a Meticulous Microscopic assisted Complete Surgical Excision.

Anterior rectal duplication cyst is rare entity with <50 reported cases to date. It has myriad presentations like bleeding per rectum, constipation, rectal prolapsed and intestinal obstruction due to extrinsic compression of rectum. However, the association of enlarged duplication cyst compressing the bladder neck or ureter, and leading to bladder outlet obstruction or hydroureteronephrosis is extremely rare with only a handful of reported cases. We report a rare case of large anterior rectal duplication cyst in a young girl leading to acute urinary retention with bladder outlet obstruction which was eventually managed by laparoscopic-assisted transabdominal surgical excision of the cyst. The authors believe that such an association has not been previously reported in this age group.

<p class="abstract">Schwannomas are rare, solitary, slow growing, smooth surfaced and well encapsulated tumors. Schwannomas of head and neck region account for 25-40% of all the cases. Approximately 1%–12% of schwannomas occur intraorally, the tongue being the most common site. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.  In this article, we describe a case of tongue schwannoma in a child, along with diagnostic and treatment options of tongue lesions. The tongue mass was completely excised via trans-oral approach using coblation method. The patient followed up for 1 year; he had an uneventful recovery and no recurrence.</p>
