Multiple Schwannomas

We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a schwannoma of the medial plantar nerve. She presented with the complaint of pain for about 2 years and a painful lesion in the medial plantar region of the left forefoot and on the second toe. Physical examination showed well-defined, firm tumor masses painful to palpation on the medial and plantar surface of the left forefoot and second toe. We surgically explored the area and excised 3 lesions, resulting in complete pain relief and no aesthetic complaints. Schwannomas of the medial plantar nerve are rare tumors, with only a few reports of cases extending to the forefoot. The finding of multiple schwannomas may be a red flag for the possible existence of local, painful, nerve lesions despite a negative Tinel sign. Appropriate surgical planning contributed to our successful intervention, without aesthetic, painful, or functional sequelae for the patient.

Multiple Schwannomas

A case of multiple cervical schwannomas in a five-year-old boy, without other evidence of neurofibromatosis type 2, is described. Schwannomatosis is a disorder characterized by the presence of multiple schwannomas in the absence of neurofibromatosis type 2 that has only been recognized in the last 15 years. The clinical and genetic features of neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 and schwannomatosis are compared and contrasted. This patient with possible schwannomatosis is presented to illustrate the potential pitfalls of making this diagnosis in the paediatric age group and to increase awareness of the debate on whether this is a distinct entity or a form fruste of neurofibromatosis type 2.
