“…Regarding the level of evidence, the nine case reports [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] were categorized as level 4, and the six case series were categorized as level 3, 3,4,17 4, 18 or 5. 19,20 Thirty-eight individuals met the inclusion criteria for sporadic schwannomatosis (►Table 2). For the largest case series by MacCollin et al, 4 we removed 5 of 14 cases because they did not meet the inclusion criteria (three patients < 30 years of age, two with familial disease, and one with NF2).…”

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.

“…5 Studies have shown a disproportionately greater incidence of schwannomas in the upper extremities (the head and neck, involving the spinal nerves and the brachial plexus), which is double that of those in the lower extremity; this is in contrast with neurofibromas, which are equally distributed throughout the nervous system. 5,6 Only 1 to 3% of the schwannomas occur in the pelvis. In addition, the involvement of the Resultados e Discussão Somente os artigos publicados entre os anos de 1981 e 2019, estudos envolvendo humanos e que estavam disponíveis como artigos completos, foram selecionados para a revisão.…”

Peripheral Nerve Schwannomas: A Literature Review

et al. 2019

Introduction Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from the cells, which wrap around axons that are usually encapsulated and solitary. These tumors usually lead to little or no symptomatology. They are usually the most common peripheral nerve tumors in adults, with their highest incidence between the third and fifth decades of life. Objective To perform a review about schwannoma of the peripheral nerves, presenting its definition, epidemiology, diagnosis, symptomatology and treatment. Methodology This is a descriptive work, based on a review of articles available in the PubMed database with the descriptors schwannoma and peripheral nerves. Results and Discussion Only papers published between 1981 and 2019, describing studies in humans, and that were available as full articles were selected. A total of 391 articles were included; after reading the titles, we noted that 67 articles fit the topic of the present study. Among the articles selected for reading, 33 fit the objectives of the present work, and were considered for the writing of the present article. Conclusion Schwannomas are benign myelin sheath tumors that develop with local symptomatology or asymptomatic and present a good surgical prognosis with generally reduced rates of surgical complications.

“…A schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor arising from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. They tend to be isolated, slow-growing, and well-encapsulated neoplasms that form within the perineurium [1-5]. An exception to this is when they are associated with neurofibromatosis.…”

“…Schwannomas most commonly occur in the head and neck region involving the spinal nerves and the brachial plexus. They are a rare occurrence in the lower extremities, particularly in the foot and ankle, with the most common nerve affected being the posterior tibial nerve [2-5,7-9]. Solitary schwannomas can present as an asymptomatic lump or cause compressive neuropathy due to a mass effect and displacement of nerve bundles.…”

Posterior Tibial Nerve Schwannoma Presenting as Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Schwannomas are rare, benign tumors originating in the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. They are most commonly found in the head, neck, and upper extremities, which involve the spinal nerves of the brachial plexus. However, schwannomas of the lower extremities are extremely uncommon, and few studies have reported a schwannoma originating from the posterior tibial nerve. We report on a case of a 71-year old male who presented to our clinic because of left foot and ankle neuritic pain. A nerve tumor was found; subsequently, the tumor was surgically excised along with the release of the tarsal tunnel.
