: With the rise in prevalence of diagnostic genetic techniques like RNA sequencing and whole exome sequencing (WES), as well as biological treatment regiments for cancer therapy, several genes have been implicated in carcinogenesis. This review aims to update our understanding of the Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) gene and its role in the pathogenesis of various cancers. : A comprehensive search of five online databases yielded 43 studies that highlighted the effect of sporadic NF2 mutations on several cancers, including sporadic meningioma, ependymoma, schwannoma, mesothelioma, breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate cancer, glioblastoma, thyroid cancer, and melanoma.

Background: This particular case is a world-first with no previous literature reports on patients presenting with both benign acoustic schwannoma and malignant ependymoma.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman with unexplained right-sided hearing loss that had worsened progressively over 4 years, along with intermittent dizziness that had begun 3 years prior. Our preliminary diagnosis included: (1) Right acoustic neuroma; (2) Ependymoma of the fourth ventricle; and (3) Hydrocephalus.

Intramedullary schwannomas are a type of benign spinal cord tumor that originates from the Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. They are relatively rare and typically occur within the spinal cord itself, rather than in the surrounding tissue. Treatment options for cervical intramedullary schwannomas include surgical removal of the tumor, radiation therapy, and observation.

Article Synopsis
- - Neurofibromatosis type 2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NF2 gene, affecting about 1 in 50,000 people globally, leading to the development of various tumors in the central nervous system.
- - The condition is characterized by the occurrence of bilateral vestibular schwannomas in over 95% of patients, along with other tumors such as meningiomas and gliomas, as well as potential eye issues.
- - Early detection through thorough medical exams is crucial for managing NF2-SWN, and most patients benefit from a combination of treatments, including surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 12-year-old girl revealed NF2 when she presented with abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a benign nerve sheath tumor in her gallbladder that mimicked atypical symptoms.
- * This case highlights the importance of recognizing uncommon manifestations of NF2 for early diagnosis and treatment, and it emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach in patient management.
