Schwannomatosis is an extremely rare genetic disorder closely related to the more-common disorder neurofibromatosis (NF). Originally described in Japanese patients, [ 1 ] it consists of multiple cutaneous schwannomas , central nervous system tumors, and other neurological complications, excluding hallmark signs of NF.
In the United States, about 1 in 3,500 people have NF1, 1 in 25,000 have NF2, and 1 in 40,000 have schwannomatosis. [1] Males and females are affected equally often in all three conditions. [ 2 ] In NF1, symptoms are often present at birth or develop before 10 years of age. [ 1 ]
[6] [7] The correlation with schwannoma predisposition disorders like NF2 and schwannomatosis, however, is minimal (approximately 5 percent of cases). [8] These tumors might lack a capsule or be less encapsulated than a typical schwannoma.More challenging to identify from MPNST are the infrequent plexiform schwannomas that develop in deep ...
Neurofibromatosis type II (also known as MISME syndrome – multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas) is a genetic condition that may be inherited or may arise spontaneously, and causes benign tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Most peripheral nerve tumors occur for unknown reasons. Some, including schwannomatosis and neurofibromatosis (types 1 and 2), are associated with recognized hereditary disorders. Others may be caused by gene mutations. In the case of schwannomatosis and neurofibromatosis, tumors can grow on or close to nerves anywhere in the body.

Nyctixalus pictus grows to about 35 mm (1.4 in) in snout–vent length; [3] [4] males are slightly smaller than females. The snout is pointed. The tympanum is distinct. [5] The limbs are long and the finger and toe tips are dilated into large discs.
