  • Title: An atypical case of intracerebral schwannoma.
    Author: AlBatly AA, Zakzouk RS, Alhaidey AK.
    Journal: Pan Afr Med J; 2014; 18():342. PubMed ID: 25574318.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of intracerebral cystic schwannoma in the temporal fossa manifested as a gradually worsening headache in a 49-years-old woman. Computed Tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a left temporal partly cystic, partly solid mass. The preoperative diagnosis was astrocytoma or glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), but microscopic examination of the mass showed the characteristic pattern with cellular Antony A component. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for S-100 protein. These findings are consistent with a schwannoma. Intracerebral schwannomas not related to cranial nerves are rare and most reported cases involved young patients.
