No
En bloc total resection of a rare psammomatous melanotic schwannoma not associated with Carney complex resulted in a good clinical course over 10 years.
May warrant inclusion of sporadic psammomatous melanotic schwannoma in paraspinal differentials; leaves open Carney complex screening criteria.
Background. Psammomatous melanotic schwannoma is a rare neoplasm that may arise in the context of the Carney complex, a unique multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome. Case. We herein report a case of psammomatous melanotic schwannoma not associated with the Carney complex, arising in the right paraspinal area of a 26-year-old woman. She underwent en bloc total resection of the mass and has exhibited a good clinical course for 10 years since tumor resection.
