ABSTRACT
Ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor of the jaw. It is a benign neoplasm but local recurrence is common. Metastasis from this tumor is all the more rare. The commonest site for metastasis is lung. Brain is a very uncommon site of involvement. Overall prognosis is good.

ABSTRACT
Extradural dumbbell shaped neurofibroma in paediatric patients is very rare. A case of extradural dumbbell neurofibroma in a 17-year-old girl who presented with neck pain and slowly progressive neck swelling. On imaging a dumbbell neruofibroma arising from left C2 nerve root was diagnosed. The case is presented here for its rarity, its extremely good postoperative outcome together with its radiological features. Cervical neruofibroma needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of high cervical myelopathy in children despite its rarity
