Abstract
Introduction: NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) is a rare inheritable autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple nervous system neoplasms.
Case presentation: In this report, we present a rare case of NF2 exhibiting the complete constellation of multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas (MISME syndrome).
Conclusion: This is the first documented case of simultaneous occurrence of all three tumors in a single patient in the Philippines, adding to the sparse evidence of MISME syndrome in world literature.
