Because of its tumor origin from nerve sheath cells (the Schwann cells), the pathogenesis of an extraordinary rare intramedullary schwannoma, which should not have any Schwann's cells in nature, is controversial and still in debate. We report a case of a 63-year-old man diagnosed with a cervical cord intramedullary schwannoma with an interesting intraoperative finding that could support one of the theories on its genesis.
由于其肿瘤起源于神经鞘细胞(施万细胞),一种极其罕见的髓内神经鞘瘤(本质上不应有任何施万细胞)的发病机制存在争议,仍在讨论中。我们报告一例63岁男性被诊断为颈髓髓内神经鞘瘤,术中发现有趣,这可能支持其发病机制的一种理论。
