摘要
We report the case of an adult woman who developed ovarian cancer during a follow-up for vestibular schwannoma. Volume reduction of the schwannoma was observed after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. After ovarian cancer had been diagnosed, the patient was found to have a germline mutation of breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1). This is the first reported case of vestibular schwannoma in a patient with a germline mutation of BRCA1 and the first documented example of chemotherapy including olaparib to have shown efficacy for schwannoma.
