Intramedullary neurilemmoma of the spinal cord is extremely rare.
This is not surprising, since schwann cells, considered the histogenetic source of such a tumor, normally are not present within the spinal cord.
A case of intramedullary neurilemmoma in 47-year-old man is reported and the hypotheses as to it's origin are discussed.
In a discussion on the origin of the condition, it is concluded that this case might have an origin from the dorsal root entry zone.
