Tumors of the cranial nerves are uncommon, and are usually schwannomas or neurofibromas. The authors describe a case of a fibroblastic tumor involving the sixth cranial nerve. Based upon electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry, the tumor was not of nerve-sheath origin, but was comprised of fibroblasts. Clinical, radiographic, and pathological material are presented, and the literature is discussed. This represents the third case report of a tumor of the abducens nerve, and the first report of a fibroma of a cranial or peripheral nerve.
颅神经肿瘤并不常见,通常为神经鞘瘤或神经纤维瘤。作者描述了一例累及第六颅神经的成纤维细胞肿瘤病例。基于电子显微镜检查和免疫组织化学,该肿瘤并非起源于神经鞘,而是由成纤维细胞组成。文中呈现了临床、影像学和病理资料,并对相关文献进行了讨论。这是第三例展神经肿瘤的病例报告,也是首例颅神经或周围神经纤维瘤的报告。
