The occurrence of brain metastases from a malignant schwannoma of the penis is extremely rare. In patients with a single brain metastasis, microsurgical extirpation is the treatment of choice and verifies the diagnosis. In cases of multiple or recurrent metastases, radiosurgery is an effective and safe therapy option. Gamma Knife surgery was performed in a patient who had previously undergone tumor resection and who presented with recurrence of the lesion and three de novo brain metastases. This first report on brain metastasis from a malignant penile schwannoma illustrates the efficacy and safety of radiosurgical treatment for these tumors.
阴茎恶性神经鞘瘤发生脑转移极为罕见。对于单发脑转移瘤患者，显微手术切除是首选治疗方法，且可明确诊断。对于多发或复发性转移瘤病例，放射外科是一种有效且安全的治疗选择。对一名先前已接受肿瘤切除、出现病变复发及三处新发脑转移瘤的患者实施了伽玛刀手术。这篇关于阴茎恶性神经鞘瘤脑转移的首例报告阐明了放射外科治疗这些肿瘤的有效性和安全性。
