SYNOPSIS A neurilemmoma presented as an expanding lesion of the bodies of C6 and C7 vertebrae and caused local neurological signs together with a spastic paraparesis. This tumour was treated by preliminary posterior fusion, followed by its complete removal via an anterior approach and stabilization by anterior spinal fusion. Other cases in the literature are reviewed and discussed.Solitary lesions affecting the vertebral bodies are uncommon and present problems in regard to both diagnosis and treatment. This case report describes how such a lesion was investigated and found at operation to be a neurilemmoma probably arising from within the vertebral body. The

“…There are no previously published reports of classic schwannoma in a skeletally immature long bone. Although there have been a few previous accounts of this tumour in the long bones of adults, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] only one report of schwannoma in a child exists, which was of a melanotic variety. 15 This is histologically different from classic schwannoma and is associated with the Carney complex, an autosomally dominant disorder characterised by lentiginous facial pigmentation, cardiac myxoma and endocrine overactivity.…”

“…1,3 Intra-osseous schwannoma is uncommon, there being only approximately 200 previously published cases, mostly involving the mandible, sacrum, maxilla and vertebrae. [4][5][6][7] Occurrence in the long bones is particularly rare, but has been reported in adults. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] We describe a case of classic schwannoma involving a long bone in a child.…”

We describe a schwannoma located in the mid-diaphyseal region of the fibula of a 14-year-old boy. Radiologically this was an expansile, lytic, globular and trabeculated lesion. MRI showed a narrow transition zone with a break in the cortex and adjacent tissue oedema. Differential diagnosis included schwannoma, fibrous dysplasia, giant cell tumour and aneurysmal bone cyst. The tumour was excised en bloc, with marginal resection limits, and there has been no recurrence two years after surgery. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of classic schwannoma. There were typical hypercellular Antoni A zones, less cellular Antoni B zones, and diffuse immunoreactivity to S100 protein. This is the first report of schwannoma involving a long bone in a child.
