Intraoral neurilemmoma is rare (only 1%), and the most common form is a unilobular tumor on the dorsum of the tongue in the patients in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life. Herein we describe the case of intraoral neurilemmoma in a 9-year-old girl complaining only of a sore throat. She had an exophytic multilobulated mass on the base of the tongue. MR imaging demonstrates the extension of the tumor...

A case of choroidal neurilemmoma is reported. After a period of clinical observation which included serial fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, during which time active growth was seen, the tumour was thought to be a malignant melanoma, and enucleation was considered the treatment of choice. Subsequent histological study revealed a neurilemmoma. Important points relating to the clini...

Two examples of intracerebral neurilemmoma occurred in the absence of von Recklinghausen's disease. The first case was unique because the patient was clinically asymptomatic, and the second case was unusual with a combination of oligodendroglioma and neurilemmoma in the same mass. The latter lesion arising in persons without stigmata of neurofibromatosis has not been described. The nature of ne...

A 34-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of paraesthesia of the right palm and the right middle and ring fingers. This paraesthesia was exacerbated by elevation of the right arm. A tumour was palpable in the subclavicular fossa. As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a neurogenic tumour originating from the brachial plexus, a diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome caused by a neu...

are reported in the literature and only one of them is a ciliary body neurilemmoma. This is not correct, because according to Shields et al.2 (not cited) the reported cases of neurilemmoma are eight at least (associated and unassociated with neurofibromatosis), and two ofthem affected the ciliary body. Secondly, I would point out that in the case reported a fine needle aspiration biopsy could b...

OBJECTIVES Intraosseous access is a rapid and effective route of fluid and drug administration. Its use has been proven in emergency medicine, pediatrics, and the military. We aimed to assess its performance and utilization against landmark-guided central venous catheter placement during inpatient medical emergencies. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Eight hundred fifty-six-b...

A case of bilateral intraosseous tumor of the calcaneus with different MRI imaging is presented. On the left, radiological findings suggest intraosseous lipoma, but on the right-sided lesion, imaging studies were not convincing. The microscopic report showed foreign body granulomatous reaction, a rare clinical pathological discordant.

The preoperative diagnosis of intraosseous schwannoma is challenging because of its rarity. We report a resected case of sternal intraosseous schwannnoma mimicking late recurrence of breast cancer.A 60-year-old Japanese woman with a history of breast cancer was diagnosed as having a sternal tumor by chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrating a round, well-defined, low-density nodule measuring...
