Schwannoma of the Kidney [PDF]
Modern Pathology, 2008 Schwannomas of the kidney are rare, with only a few reported cases. We report three additional cases with immunohistochemical analysis. All three tumors were from females (aged 27, 35, and 59 years) and ranged from 4.8 to 8 cm in diameter. All of the patients underwent nephrectomy.

Intracochlear Schwannoma [PDF]
Skull Base, 2009 Intralabyrinthine schwannomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that originate from Schwann cells lining the terminal ends of the cochlear and vestibular nerves. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium is considered the best diagnostic tool for this disease.

Metachronous schwannoma in the colon with vestibular schwannoma [PDF]
Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research, 2014 We experienced a case of vestibular schwannoma and metachronous schwannoma in the colon. A 59-year-old female presented with a 1-month history of hematochezia. She had undergone suboccipital craniectomy resulting in radical subtotal resection, followed by gamma knife radiosurgery for a large left vestibular schwannoma 4 years prior to admission.

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2009 Schwannomas are neoplasms originating from Schwann cells, which are the cells forming nerve sheaths. These neoplasms generally involve peripheral nerves. They rarely affect the gastrointestinal tract and primary colon involvement is extremely rare.

Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2011 The schwannomas are nervous tissue tumors. We report a case of schwannoma of oral tongue. Because schwannomas are quite rare in the oral cavity, they are often not immediately included in the differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal masses, causing delay in identification and treatment. The definitive diagnosis requires histopathologic examination.

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Intralabyrinthine Vestibular Schwannoma Responsive to Intratympanic Gentamicin Treatment [PDF]
, 2017 Intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS) is a rare benign tumor that affects the ends of cochlear and vestibular nerves. In a majority of the cases, it occurs with unilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss.

A rare case of schwannoma: schwannoma of the tongue
Gaziantep Medical Journal, 2012 Schwannomas, also known as the neurolemmomas, are caused by the Schwann cells in the peripheral, cranial or autonomic nerve sheath. These are benign, solid and encapsulated tumors. They grow slowly. Generally they are seen between the ages of 20-50 years old and they are more common in females than males, F / M :1,5-2 / 1.

Schwannoma in Masquerade [PDF]
Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2011 Neurilemmoma is a rare nerve tumor seldom included in the list of differential diagnosis of soft tissue swelling in maxillofacial region. Arrival at a clinical diagnosis of schwannomas is rarely possible as there are hardly any characteristic clinical features to help in its and it is mostly established by histopathologic examination.
