“…• Confusion with NF2, presumptive schwannomatosis, 4 and familial schwannomatosis [23][24][25] • Two studies 2,26 were performed before the release of the 2005 consensus statement, 1 and other studies did not ensure the patients met the criteria for definite schwannomatosis, particularly regarding the lack of systematic brain MRI to formally eliminate NF2, [26][27][28] being < 18 years of age at diagnosis, 25,[29][30][31][32][33] and the presence of intracranial lesions 34,35 • Two studies were original articles with no individual descriptive cases 1,36 Approximately 10 to 15% of patients with schwannomatosis have a family history. 17,37 The remaining 85 to 90% have sporadic disease.…”

This systematic review quantified the number of individuals who meet the criteria for sporadic schwannomatosis and better described this population to facilitate the classification of neurofibromatosis in regard to the 2005 consensus statement. Unilateral or segmental distribution of nerve tumors are key aspects when dealing with multiple noncutaneous schwannomas without involvement of the vestibular nerve.

Schwannoma is the most common benign tumor of peripheral nerve. Only 7% of schwannomas arise from the median nerve, and its localization in the motor branch is extremely rare. A 57-year old right-handed female presented with a carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms associated to a little painful thenar swelling in the left hand with no motor or sensory deficit. An electromyogram confirmed the clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. Ultrasonography (US), performed to study the thenar swelling, revealed an infracentimetric avascular well-limited intramuscular mass. Surgical resection of the mass was performed satisfactorily with preservation of nerve fascicles. Histopathology concluded to a benign schwannoma of the motor branch of the median nerve. In the literature reviewed by us, this is the third case of motor branch of the median nerve schwannoma.
