Benign Schwannoma of the Thumb; a diagnostic challenge

Benign Schwannomas are one of the less frequently encountered soft tissue tumours of the hand. We report an interesting case of an 80-year-old gentleman with a painful soft tissue swelling on the radial aspect of his thumb. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined lesion separate from bone and tendon, wit...

description Benign Schwannomas are one of the less frequently encountered soft tissue tumours of the hand. We report an interesting case of an 80-year-old gentleman with a painful soft tissue swelling on the radial aspect of his thumb. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined lesion separate from bone and tendon, with mixed echogenicity and moderate internal vascularity. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 15 × 10 × 23mm lesion with low signal on T1 and high signal on T2. Following surgical excision, histology confirmed benign schwannoma.
