BACKGROUND Intraosseous locations are extremely rare when it comes to schwannomas and account for 0.2% of primary bone tumours 1. The most common intraosseous locations include the mandible 2 and the sacrum, while cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine lesions are even more uncommon 3. CASE DESCRIPTION We 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 WHO grade I schwannoma. CONCLUSION Our 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.
