An amputation neuroma of the cystic duct was found in the markedly fibrotic gallbladder of an 88-year-old man. Since most visceral amputation neuromas follow surgery and this patient had never undergone surgery, it is postulated that the stimulus for the neural and fibrous proliferation was leakage of bile and/or cholesterol.

Schwannomas are tumors that originate from the glial cells of the nervous system and can occur on myelinated nerve fibers throughout the body, especially in the craniofacial region. However, pancreatic schwannomas are extremely rare. We report a case of a pancreatic schwannoma that was difficult to differentiate from other pancreatic tumors preoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the link between fibrous dysplasia (FD), a rare bone disorder, and the presence of cystic changes in vestibular schwannomas (VSs), specifically focusing on how FD may influence the development of cystic VSs.* -
- Out of 1,255 patients studied, 11.3% had cystic VSs, with findings indicating that female patients, those with concurrent FD, and larger VS volumes showed higher percentages of cystic formation.* -
- The results suggest that concurrent FD and larger VS volumes are significant risk factors for cystic VSs, highlighting the need for further research into the mechanisms behind this relationship.*
Role of Surgery in Vestibular Schwannoma following prior Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used for treating vestibular schwannoma (VS), offering high tumour control rates, especially in small to medium-sized tumours. However, a subset of patients experiences SRS failure, requiring subsequent salvage microsurgery (MS). The primary reason for salvage surgery is continued tumour growth, but other causes include symptom progression and cystic enlargement.

Article Synopsis
- * MRI scans confirmed the tumor's compression of the spinal canal at T11-T12, leading to simultaneous surgeries for both the intraspinal and extraspinal masses using specialized techniques.
- * The findings underscore the need for personalized treatment approaches for large schwannomas, emphasizing the importance of tumor specifics like size and location for better patient outcomes.
