Article Abstract
Malignant schwannoma (MPNST) is a rare tumor. Many of these cases occur in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) and they usually present as a mass lesion which rapidly increase in size with or without neurological symptoms. Here we present an unusual case of MPNST along the radial nerve in which the patient has no underlying neurofibromatosis type I.

Clinical features and surgical treatment of mediastinal masses in children: a retrospective study of 51 cases.
Front Pediatr
August 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, China.
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, imaging manifestations, pathological types, and surgical strategies of mediastinal masses in children with this condition, aiming to enhance early diagnosis and perioperative management.
Methods: Clinical data of children diagnosed with mediastinal masses and treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University between January 2019 and August 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Key variables analyzed included demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical procedures, intraoperative management, pathological results, and follow-up outcomes.
Computer vision based efficient segmentation and classification of multi brain tumor using computed tomography images.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, Mugla Sitki Kocman University, 48000, Kotekli, Turkey.
This study aims to highlight the effectiveness of computer vision (CV) techniques in classifying brain tumors using a comprehensive dataset consisting of computed tomography (CT) scans. The proposed framework comprises six types of brain tumors, including benign tumors (Meningioma, Schwannoma, and Neurofibromatosis) and malignant tumors (Glioma, Chondrosarcoma, and Chordoma). The acquired images underwent pre-processing steps to enhance the dataset's quality, including noise reduction through median and Gaussian filters and region of interest (ROIs) extraction using an automated binary threshold-based fuzzy c-means segmentation (ABTFCS) approach.

Introduction And Importance: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), also called malignant schwannoma, neurofibrosarcoma and neurogenic sarcoma, is a malignant neoplastic lesion originating in the Schwann cells of the sheath lining of peripheral nerves.
Case Presentation: A 2-year-old, 7-month-old female patient, was admitted to our clinic due to progressive enlargement of the right forearm, physical examination revealed a tumor on the right forearm, painless, fixed to adjacent structures, hard, with erythema and swelling in the upper part of the lesion, complete surgical excision of the tumor with left inguinal graft was performed, covering the entire resected surgical defect. The pathology report was a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.

Introduction: Neurogenic tumors commonly develop in the posterior mediastinum in both pediatric and adult patients. In patients with neurofibromatosis type 1, distinguishing benign schwannomas from malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors is challenging. In this study, we aimed to present the surgical management of a giant schwannoma that required differentiation from a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
