Objective: This study aims to develop and validate an enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model to differentiate gastric schwannomas (GS) from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) across various risk categories.

Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 GS and 82 GIST cases, all confirmed by postoperative pathology. Data was divided into training and validation cohorts at a 7:3 ratio.

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.

Objective: Petroclival tumors such as petroclival meningiomas or trigeminal schwannomas extending to the posterior cranial fossa are challenging to treat due to their deep-seated location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of endoscopic transorbital surgery for the resection of central skull base tumors involving the petroclival area.

Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with petroclival tumors including meningiomas and trigeminal schwannomas who underwent endoscopic transorbital surgery between September 2017 and December 2022.

Cervical aggressive fibromatosis is a rare intermediate tumor characterized by invasive growth. Aggressive fibromatosis (AF), also referred to as desmoid-type fibrosarcoma or grade I fibrosarcoma, is a clonal proliferative lesion of fibroblasts located in deep soft tissues. While many cases have been reported, there are relatively few involving aggressive fibromatosis in the anterior inferior margin muscle space of the neck trapezius muscle.
