“…The presence of multiple lesions represents a high risk of having NF2 and is associated with mutations of the NF2 gene on chromosome 22q12.2 (adjacent to the SMARCB1/INI1 suppressor gene) (12). Therefore, it is important to exclude the presence of associated dermal lesions and neurinoma in patients with PS, particularly in paediatric patients in whom inherited syndromes are more frequent, by performing thorough intracranial and spinal MRI examinations (11,13). Genetic studies are useful when there is a positive family history or in case of a certain association with NF-schwannomatosis.…”

Visceral plexiform schwannoma: A case series

Plexiform schwannoma (PS) is a benign tumour of the peripheral nerve sheath that is typically found in the skin. Fewer than 15 cases of visceral PS have been reported to date in both adults and children. We herein discuss a series of 3 patients (2 male and 1 female) with abdominal PS, aged 10-16 years (mean age, 12 years). All the patients had an acute presentation with abdominal pain, which was associated with rectal bleeding in 1 case and with walking difficulties in 1 case. Radiological investigations included abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography, along with neurofibromatosis screening (cerebral MRI and dermatological evaluation). Complete removal of the mass was possible in 2 of the patients (in 1 case by laparoscopically assisted surgery). Follow-up was uneventful. Abdominal PS is a rare occurrence. Due to its possible association with neurofibromatosis, the diagnosis of PS should prompt an investigation for other manifestations of this disorder.

Central nervous system (CNS) tumours refer to tumours that occur in the tissues of the brain and/or spinal cord. These tumours arise as a result of abnormal growth of cells and may begin in different parts of the brain or spinal cord. There are many types of CNS tumours, which are further divided into subtypes. Despite decades of research conducted, CNS tumours remain among the deadliest of all cancers. It is most often challenging to treat these tumours, due to the risks involved, and biological characteristics associated with them. The classification, grading, and characterisation of CNS tumour plays a pivotal role in the management thereof. The current review provides an overview of CNS tumours, classification, grading and treatment, as well as their characterisation with specific focus on gliomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, gangliogliomas, and craniopharyngiomas.

Plexiform schwannoma (PS), or neurilemmoma, is an uncommon benign tumor originating from a peripheral nerve sheath. It consists of Schwann cells organized in an intricate, web-like pattern. A male farmer in his 50s from rural India sought medical attention for a painless mass on his left thigh, present for 30 years. Physical examination revealed a firm, non-tender mass with restricted mobility. Imaging, including X-ray and ultrasound, indicated a neoplastic lesion. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology revealed spindle-shaped cells, prompting a provisional diagnosis of a spindle cell lesion. Surgical excision was performed successfully, with histopathological examination confirming PS. He experienced no postoperative complications, and at the one-year follow-up, the complete resolution of symptoms and normal daily activities were observed.
