Abstract

A 62-year-old man without significant anamnestic elements has been impossible to dorsiflexion of his right foot for about 2 years, without pain. Neurological and neurophysiological examination has identified a sensory motor multineuropathy. The particular pattern of involvement of the peripheral nervous system has oriented the magnetic resonance examination with evidence of multiple schwannomas and has allowed a first and fundamental differential diagnosis also orienting the choice of the optimal site for the biopsy examination. After performing the genetic examination as confirmation, positive for LZTR1, the patient undertook chemotherapy with clinical stability.
