Symptoms of cervical neurilemmoma

Solid nodules are single or multiple solid nodules in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, which are round or oval in shape, usually no more than 2-4cm in diameter, and can be pushed (Fig. 1). Soft or solid in nature, pink or light yellow in color, with or without pain. Occasionally, the lesions were multiple, which could be seen in type I neurofibromatosis or independently, and had nothing to do with type I neurofibromatosis. However, multiple lesions are often associated with type II neurofibromatosis. The independent type may be congenital or delayed. It may be sporadic or familial. The clinical manifestations were as follows: high dome shaped nodules, light brown sclerotic macula and multiple papules fused into 2-100 mm plaques.

Plexiform schwannomas can be single or multiple lesions, localized or generalized, occurring in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. It may occur alone or with type I, type II neurofibromatosis or multiple schwannomas. The other subtype of schwannoma is sandy tumor type, accompanied with macular pigmentation of Carney's syndrome, myxoma and excessive endocrine activity, which may cause malignant subtype. It is a single lesion associated with type I neurofibromatosis. Or in some cases with xeroderma pigmentosum.

Generally, there is no conscious symptom of numbness, but there is numbness when touching it. The increase of volume is often accompanied by radiation pain. Sensory and motor disorders, such as tumor significantly compressed nerve, can appear sensory and motor disorders.
