title: Nonschwannoma tumors of the cerebellopontine angle.
abstract: Although the preponderance of cerebellopontine angle lesions are schwannomas, focused attention to patient clinical history, imaging studies, and tissue biopsies when indicated will aid in detection of less common lesions that might otherwise be misdiagnosed. This is most critical for pathologies that dictate different management paradigms be undertaken.
