Introduction: Neurofibroma, a rare benign tumor of the peripheral nervous system, can manifest anywhere along a nerve from the dorsal ganglion to its terminal branches. Myxoid neurofibroma can present as a solitary non-tender nodule and is often confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein. However, in 50% of cases, neurofibromas are associated with neurofibromatosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are common in NFL players, particularly affecting positions like wide receivers and defensive backs, with the biceps femoris being the most frequently injured muscle.
  • A study analyzed 180 acute HSIs from the 2018-2019 NFL season to explore the relationship between player characteristics, clinical exams, and MRI findings regarding injury severity and time missed from games.
  • Findings indicated that nearly half of the injuries were moderate (BAMIC grade 2), with specific locations on the biceps femoris and semimembranosus being the most affected, and MRI detected abnormalities in the sciatic nerve in some cases.

Introduction And Importance: Schwannomas are benign tumors that arise from Schwann cells commonly located in peripheral nerves. Depending on the size and location of sciatic nerve Schwannoma clinical manifestations can either varies from symptoms simulating radiculopathies such as positive Lasegue sign on the affected side, gait weakness and paresthesia or just present with pain and an associated palpable mass.

Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 34-year-old female patient suffering from pain, gait weakness, and a palpable mass since many months.

Sciatic nerve schwannomas are rare tumors, mainly characterized by sciatic neuralgia rather than sensory-motor deficits. The poorly suggestive clinical presentation of this localization leads to a delayed diagnosis. Here, we describe the case of a 47-year-old female patient with a nine-month history of schwannoma localized in the sciatic nerve, just above the left popliteal fossa.
