Schwannomas are common benign tumours of schwann cell origin, frequently found in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Inactivation of the NF2 tumour suppressor gene appears to be a molecular event responsible for the development of up to 60% of cases, but no data are available on other...
