Cureus. 2016 Mar 30;8(3):e548. doi: 10.7759/cureus.548.

Abstract

Neurofibromas and schwannomas are common lesions that may be idiopathic or may occur in association with neural crest genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, and schwannomatosis. A hybrid tumor that contains pathological characteristics of both neurofibroma and schwannoma has been described as a rare entity. We present the clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings of such a case.

Keywords: hybrid tumor; neurofibroma; schwannoma.
