Description
Nguyen Thi Khuyen and four co-authors report a rare case of a schwannoma growing in the liver. The patient, a 56-year-old man, was first thought to have a malignant liver tumor. The benign nerve-sheath tumor was identified only after closer study.
The authors also review 19 published cases of this tumor. Patients ranged from 38 to 72 years old, and women were affected more often. Most had no symptoms, and none linked to the genetic condition neurofibromatosis type 1. All tumors were fully removed, and no case recurred during follow-up. Staining for the S-100 protein helps separate this tumor from cancers.
