Excerpt

Primary spinal cord tumors represent 2–4% of central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Intramedullary tumors predominantly include diffuse astrocytomas and ependymomas [1]. Intramedullary schwannomas are rare and account for 0.3–1.5% of all spinal schwannomas [2]. Thus far, no primary intramedullary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) has been described. Only a postradiation intramedullary MPNST was described, in 2006, with metachronous laryngeal cancer [3]. …
