| We report a case of pinnal neurofibroma in which the primary complaint was otitis externa; hearing loss and cosmetic deformity were also present. Spine tumors most commonly treated with CyberKnife include: meningioma, schwannoma, neurofibroma, hemangioblastoma, arteriovenous malformations, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, ependyoma, spinal metastases from many sources, myeloma, lymphoma, and Ewing sarcoma.
