Open research questions in Neurofibromatosis and Schwannoma Cases

26 unresolved questions extracted from the limitations and future-work sections of 378 Neurofibromatosis and Schwannoma Cases papers in our library. Each links back to the study that raised it.

What the literature leaves open

  • Although a causal link between NCC and glioma has not been established, the co-occurrence in the same patient warrants documentation; the satellite lesion observed radiologically in this case may reflect multifocal GBM rather than residual parasitic disease, and clinicoradiological correlation is essential in such settings.

    Characterization of High-Grade Glial and Related Neuroepithelial Tumors Using the AOSNP-ADAPTR Framework: A Case Series With Review of Literature · 2026 · DOI

  • This report contributes to the limited literature on radical surgical management of NF1-associated MPNSTs and emphasizes the critical balance between oncological control and functional preservation in these challenging cases.

    Giant cervicothoracic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in neurofibromatosis type I: a case report of integrated management with multimodal guidance · 2026 · DOI

  • In summary, while CALMs alone are insufficient to establish NF1 in early infancy, our findings demonstrate a clear and progressive increase in lesion burden during the first two years of life in genetically confirmed cases.

    Early quantitative progression of café-au-lait macules and diagnostic threshold fulfilment by 24 months in neurofibromatosis type 1 · 2026 · DOI

  • In this setting, tracer avidity and bone erosion alone are insufficient to infer malignancy; instead, integrated interpretation of MRI/CT morphology, metabolic imaging for extent mapping and staging, and clinicoradiologic context is essential.

    Case Report: Giant L1 dumbbell-shaped spinal schwannoma with osteolytic destruction and intense [18F]FDG uptake on PET/CT mimicking a malignant tumor · 2026 · DOI

  • We present a case of MTT arising from the sacral plexus with radiologic-pathologic correlation, multimodal treatment, and early recurrence, aiming to contribute to the limited literature and emphasize the importance of integrated diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

    Malignant triton tumor: a case report and literature review · 2026 · DOI

  • We report the incidental intraoperative discovery of mesenteric neurofibromatosis during surgery for acute appendicitis in an NF-1 patient, a presentation scarcely documented previously.

    Mesenteric neurofibromatosis complicated by acute appendicitis: case report and review of the literature · 2026 · DOI

  • Although the underlying pathophysiologies of myelin dysregulation in CMT and NF1 are different, their possible link to ganglioneuroma remains to be further investigated.

    Bilateral dumbbell-shaped ganglioneuroma of the C2 roots in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: illustrative case · 2026 · DOI

  • Traditional AIS-based DFV selection does not account for the distinctive pathological features of NF1 scoliosis, including vertebral dysplasia, reduced bone mineral den- sity, and paraspinal soft-tissue abnormalities [1, 6].

    Distal fusion vertebra selection in neurofibromatosis type 1 scoliosis: integrating CT/MRI-detected atrophic changes reduces long-term mechanical complications · 2026 · DOI

  • Need for prospective multicenter studies to better establish risk-benefit profiles of radiotherapy versus chemotherapy and watchful waiting in NF1 pediatric glioma management.

    Radiotherapy for low grade gliomas in children with neurofibromatosis type 1: when there is no other choice. Case Report · 2026 · DOI

  • Isolated colorectal neurofibromas unassociated with syndromic disease are exceptionally rare, and their biological behaviour remains incompletely characterised.

    Isolated rectal neurofibroma in the absence of neurofibromatosis: report and review of molecular implications · 2026 · DOI

  • Conclusion: Although intraosseous schwannomas of the jaw bones and plexiform schwannomas of soft tissues of head and neck are documented in the recent literature; to the best of our knowledge, an intraosseous variant of plexiform schwannoma has not been reported.

    Unusual intramandibular plexiform shwannoma · 2011 · DOI
