Tumors Associated with Schwannomatosis

Schwannomatosis causes tumors, called schwannomas, to grow along the peripheral nervous system of the body.  People with schwannomatosis do not routinely develop vestibular schwannomas or any of the other tumors typically associated with NF2.

The most common symptoms of schwannomatosis occur due to the development of these tumors on the peripheral nervous system. Learn more about symptoms of schwannomatosis.
