Introduction: Intraosseous schwannomas or neurilemomas are rare benign neoplasms. Total resection of the intraosseous schwannoma is considered risky in immunocompromised patients, thus minimally invasive vertebroplasty was conducted in this study.
Case Report: In this case, we presented A 40-year-old male presented with intermittent back pain for the last two years. Imaging and histopathological examination conclude the diagnosis of intraosseous schwannoma. Vertebroplasty was conducted without the resection of the tumor. Excellent pain improvement and functional outcome were reported on one-year follow-up.
Clinical Discussion: Minimally invasive surgery could decrease post-operative pain and morbidity such as atelectasis and venous thrombosis, earlier hospital discharge, and improved cosmetics. We considered the use of minimally invasive vertebroplasty due to HIV infection comorbidities in the subject. Extensive tumor resection in this population could increase the risks of infection significantly thus affecting the outcome of the surgery. The aim of percutaneous vertebroplasty is to increase the stability of the collapsed vertebra and improve the symptoms, especially with severe back pain.
Conclusion: Intraosseous schwannoma of the vertebrae could be treated effectively with vertebroplasty with excellent pain improvement and functional outcome.

Objectives: Benign and malignant intraosseous schwannomas are rare, and primarily documented in case reports. This study aims to elucidate the differences in clinical features and imaging manifestations between these tumors. This will help clinicians identify malignant lesions at an early stage, reliable guide treatment decisions, and accurately predict outcomes.

Intraosseous schwannoma is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor comprising < 1% of bone tumors. Relatively common locations for this tumor include the skull and mandible, and, to a lesser degree, the spine and sacrum. Intraosseous schwannoma involving the appendicular skeleton is exceedingly rare.

Benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (BPNSTs) are a vast, common, heterogeneous group of lesions that are often diagnostically challenging. The head and neck region is recognized as the second most common location for these lesions, especially the tongue. However, BPNSTs occurring centrally within the jaw bones are exceedingly rare.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the distribution and types of benign and malignant lesions in the hindfoot and ankle over a 12.5-year period, showing that the majority of cases (81.9%) were soft tissue lesions, with a smaller portion being osseous lesions (18.1%).
- Of the reviewed cases, 77 were benign and 9 were malignant, leading to an overall malignancy rate of 8.6%, with malignant cases seen primarily in older patients (mean age of 59.2 years).
- The findings emphasize the importance of accurate imaging and pathology assessment, as benign lesions are more common but malignant tumors can present similarly and should be taken seriously, especially in ambiguous cases
