“…This rare pattern usually develops in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue for only 4% to 5% of all the schwannomas and is usually confined to the head and neck or skin. [1][2][3][4][5] Even if schwannomas are considered to be benign and rarely undergo malignant transformation, they can usually show high 18 F-FDG uptake. [6][7][8][9][10] The false-positive 18 F-FDG uptake in the schwannomas, especially in those with unexpected location, are easily lead to the misinterpretation of schwannomas as malignancy in the imaging diagnosis.…”

Plexiform schwannoma (PS), a subtype of schwannoma, is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor characterized by a multinodular plexiform growth pattern. It is usually confined to the head and neck or skin. Pelvic PS is an extremely rare occurrence and signifies a challenge for the imaging diagnosis. In this work, we present a 42-year-old woman with pelvic PS, who was initially suspected of malignant tumor on 18 F-FDG PET/MRI but confirmed as PS by postoperative pathology. We consider that this case would contribute to the literature and provide a further insight into diagnosing this kind of rare tumor.

“…Electrophysiological testing is usually non specific as schwannomas do not cause interference with nerve function. [6][7][8][9] Surgical resection is considered the treatment of choice. It is safe, has good prognosis, and is effective in ending the neuropathic symptoms with low recurrence rate.…”

BACKGROUND: Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which grow slowly and are considered common peripheral nerve tumors. The presentation varies between painful masses, sensory complaints or rarely motor deficits. They are commonly capsulated and can be diagnosed clinically and using imaging studies as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery is the mainstay for treatment. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the surgical technique of resection of motor nerve schwannomas and the clinical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS:In our study, we had 10 cases of painful schwannomas of the limbs presented to our instistute in Alexandria Main University Hospital and affiliated hospitals. RESULTS:All our patients had resolution of their symptoms following surgery with no permanent deficits and no postoperative recurrences.CONCLUSION: Surgical resection is a safe and effective tool for managing patients harbouring peripheral nerves schwannomas with good postoperative outcomes.

Plain radiography remains the first-choice imaging modality. Ultrasonography is superior to reliably detect and identify ganglion cysts. MRI, however, continues to remain the upmost diagnostic modality of choice for evaluating foot and ankle tumours. CT possesses unchallanged diagnostic power to assess osseous changes. Bone scintigraphy (including SPECT-CT) and FDG-PET imaging are used when multifocal distribution or metastatic disease are suspected or to detect avidity of the pedal lesions, respectively.
