Polyradiculopathies from Schwannomatosis [PDF]
We describe a case of schwannomatosis presenting as radicular pain and numbness in multiple radicular nerve distributions. There were multiple peripheral nerve tumors detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the left vestibular nerve, cauda equina, right radial nerve, thoracic paraspinal nerve, and brachial plexi.

Multiple neurogenic extracranial tumors. Clinical, MRI features, and diagnostic difficulties [PDF]
A case of multiple neurogenic tumors is presented. A native MRI (head and cervical spine) identified multiple bilateral tumors in the intraorbital space and cervical tumors. Based on the clinical course, imaging features and diagnosis criteria a possible

Integrative analysis identifies candidate tumor microenvironment and intracellular signaling pathways that define tumor heterogeneity in NF1 [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a monogenic syndrome that gives rise to numerous symptoms including cognitive impairment, skeletal abnormalities, and growth of benign nerve sheath tumors.

SMARCB1/INI1 germline mutations contribute to 10% of sporadic schwannomatosis
Background Schwannomatosis is a disease characterized by multiple non-vestibular schwannomas. Although biallelic NF2 mutations are found in schwannomas, no germ line event is detected in schwannomatosis patients.

A rare case of schwannomatosis of the extremities [PDF]
A schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the myelin-producing Schwann cells that surround nerves. We herein report a case involving a 55-year-old man who first presented to our clinic with a schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve and 5 years later with a schwannoma of the ulnar nerve.

A rare case of spinal schwannomatosis presenting as conus-cauda syndrome
Multiple extra cranial schwannomas are generally associated with neurofibromatosis (NF) syndromes. Presence of multicentric schwannomas in absence of NF2 is a very rare entity.
