Trametinib in Adults with Neurofibromatosis Type 1‐Related Symptomatic Plexiform Neurofibromas
Objective Mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors have shown promising results in treatment of plexiform neurofibromas in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients, but data in adults are limited. The aim of this phase 2 study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of trametinib in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Creation of an international registry to support discovery in schwannomatosis [PDF]
Schwannomatosis is a tumor suppressor syndrome that causes multiple tumors along peripheral nerves. Formal diagnostic criteria were first published in 2005.

Schwannomatosis is characterized by a predisposition to develop multiple schwannomas and rarely meningiomas. People with schwannomatosis are most commonly present between the second and fourth decades of life. The most common feature is localized or diffuse pain or an asymptomatic mass. Schwannomas most commonly involve peripheral and spinal nerves. We

Schwannomatosis of the tibial nerve
<p class="abstract">Schwannoma is the most common type of benign tumor arising from the sheaths of the peripheral nerves. It occurs as a solitary tumor in most cases, but when it appears in multiple forms, it is necessary to differentiate it from plexiform schwannoma, schwannomatosis, neurofibroma and malignant peripheral nerve tumors.

Comprehensive Genetic Analysis of NF2 in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma
Comprehensive genetic analyses, including whole‐exome sequencing, methylation analysis, and MLPA, are essential for accurately identifying NF2 inactivation mechanisms in sporadic vestibular schwannomas. The findings suggest that NF2 methylation may contribute to variations in clinical presentation.

Abstract Purpose To examine long‐term visual impairment and visual field examination (VF) after diverse treatments for paediatric optic pathway glioma (OPG), and to determine prognostic factors for long‐term severe visual impairment or blindness. Methods A nationwide retrospective cohort study (1995–2018) was performed on paediatric OPGs that received ...

Background Accurate monitoring of tumor progression is crucial for optimizing outcomes in neurofibromatosis type 2–related schwannomatosis. Standard 2D linear analysis on magnetic resonance imaging is less accurate than 3D volumetric analysis, but since ...

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF 2) or schwannomatosis? – Case report study and diagnostic criteria [PDF]
Introduction Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and schwannomatosis are entities that may, due to the similarity of clinical symptoms, cause diagnostic difficulties. Incidence rate of both diseases is similar and estimated between 1:25,000 and 1:40,000.

Pseudoglandular Schwannoma With FUS::KLF17 Fusion: Broadening the Spectrum of FUS‐Associated Tumors
ABSTRACT We present a case of a 51‐year‐old male with a pseudoglandular cellular schwannoma arising from the brachial plexus, which contains the expected molecular aberrations for a schwannoma (chromosome 22q loss encompassing the NF2 and LZTR1 genes) as well as a FUS::KLF17 rearrangement.

Changes in multi‐gene cancer panels for children: A 4‐year retrospective review
Abstract The multi‐gene panel is the most utilized genetic test to evaluate for germline cancer predisposition syndromes. However, the rate of change of commercial multigene panels is not well understood, and its value as a standalone test has also not been investigated.
