    BackgroundIntraosseous locations are extremely rare when it comes to schwannomas and account for 0.2% of primary bone tumors. The most common intraosseous locations include the mandible and sacrum, while cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine lesions are even more uncommon.Case DescriptionWe describe a 56-year-old female patient with incidental finding of an intraosseous lytic lesion within the vertebral body of T1. Complete surgical excision was performed with instrumented fusion. Histopathology results confirmed a World Health Organization grade I schwannoma.ConclusionsOur case is the fourth case of purely intraosseous schwannoma described in the mobile spine in the literature, with good results both clinically and radiologically after complete surgical resection.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
