: Trigeminal schwannomas are benign tumors arising from the Vth cranial nerve that can be definitively treated with surgery, conventional radiation, or radiosurgery. Suspected schwannomas and other benign tumors of the base of skull are usually diagnosed without histologic confirmation prior to treatment with radiotherapy. Here we report 2 cases of malignant tumors with trigeminal nerve invasion that were misdiagnosed and treated as schwannomas.
