“…Some of the many locations of development include the skin [4] , stomach [5] , kidney [6] , bladder [7] and brain [8] . Not only have collision tumors been documented to arise in various anatomic locations, but they have been documented to arise as both benign tumors [9] , benign/malignant tumors [7] and both malignant tumors [5] . Also, collision tumors primarily consist of two colliding tumors, but rare collision tumors consisting of three tumors have been described in the skin [10,12] and uterus [11] as well.…”

IntroductionNeurofibroma, a rare benign tumor of the peripheral nervous system, can manifest anywhere along a nerve from the dorsal ganglion to its terminal branches. Myxoid neurofibroma can present as a solitary non-tender nodule and is often confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein. However, in 50% of cases, neurofibromas are associated with neurofibromatosis.Case presentationWe present a case of a 34-year-old male with mild pain in the posterior part of his left thigh, accompanied by a slowly-growing swelling particularly noticeable when flexing his knee. It had gradually increased in size over several months, which the patient observed as a decrease in the degree of knee extension. Initial biopsy indicated schwannoma with no evidence of malignancy. Four years later, the swelling increased in size and necessitated resection surgery, revealing an irregular giant tumor measuring 8 *6 *4.5 cm, adherent to adjacent structures, including the femur, muscles, popliteal artery and vein, and a branch of the sciatic nerve. Pathological analysis reclassified the diagnosis to low-grade myxoid neurofibroma. Follow-up MRI three months later showed gross total resection without residual or recurrence of the tumor.DiscussionSolitary neurofibromas are often small in size, ranging from 1 to 2 cm in the greatest dimension. Alternatively, tumors that occur as a part of genetic neurofibromatosis tend to be multiple and often grow to large sizes. In our case, the patient didn't have neurofibromatosis as he didn't meet its diagnostic criteria despite having a giant tumor measuring approximately 8*6*4.5 cm. To our knowledge, this is the first report of giant myxoid solitary neurofibroma of the thigh apart from neurofibromatosis. Thus, this type of tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumors at this location.

Collision Tumor of the Facial Nerve

Abstract: We report the first case of a facial nerve collision tumor involving an intraparotid neurofibroma and a mastoid segment facial nerve schwannoma. Benign FN sheath tumors of the parotid gland are rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a parotid mass.
