ABSTRACT
Melanotic Schwannoma arising from the acoustic nerve is extremely rare and only three cases have been reported. We report an additional case of melanotic schwannoma occuring at the left cerebellopontine angle in a 53-year-old man presented with left facial numbness and tinnitus. After surgical removal of the mass, there has been no evidence of recurrence for 13 months.
Key Words: Melanotic schwannoma; Acoustic nerve; Recurrence
