Benign Schwannomas are one of the less frequently encountered soft tissue tumours of the hand. We report an interesting case of an 80-year-old gentleman with a painful soft tissue swelling on the radial aspect of his thumb. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined lesion separate from bone and tendon, with mixed echogenicity and moderate internal vascularity. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 15 × 10 × 23mm lesion with low signal on T1 and high signal on T2. Following surgical excision, histology confirmed benign schwannoma.

Pleural thickening can be the result of inflammation or infection but can also have a neoplastic origin. Depending on the clinical context, a pleural lesion or mass is often initially suspected of malignancy. Benign pleural tumors are rare, and their appearance on ultrasound (US) is also described less frequently than pleural metastases or malignancies.

Postoperative facial nerve (FN) dysfunction is associated with a significant impact on the quality of life of patients and can result in psychological stress and disorders such as depression and social isolation. Preoperative prediction of FN outcomes can play a critical role in vestibular schwannomas (VSs) patient care. Several studies have developed machine learning (ML)-based models in predicting FN outcomes following resection of VS.

Introduction And Importance: Pancreatic schwannoma (PS) is an extremely rare benign tumor also known as neurilemoma or neuroma. The majority of PS develop cystic lesions, and its preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its tendency to mimic other lesions of the pancreas. Herein, we reported a case of body PS incidentally discovered in an 81-year-old male, which was successfully treated through enucleation.

Schwannomas, benign tumours derived from Schwann cells, exhibit slow growth rates and are commonly found extracranially in the head, neck and extremities. However, intraoral and salivary gland schwannomas are less frequent. Ancient schwannomas, characterised by histological degenerative changes, represent a rare variant.
