Schwannoma of the radial nerve: a case report

Schwannomas are the most common benign tumors of the peripheral nerves, but represents only 5%-8% of all soft tissue tumors. Their diagnosis is usually delayed due to their slow growth and the nervous adaptation to their increased volume. Ultrasound sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) im...

description Schwannomas are the most common benign tumors of the peripheral nerves, but represents only 5%-8% of all soft tissue tumors. Their diagnosis is usually delayed due to their slow growth and the nervous adaptation to their increased volume. Ultrasound sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images usually ease the diagnosis. Correct enucleation offers very good postoperative outcomes and avoids recurrences. We report an unusual case of schwannoma of the radial nerve (RN) that remained asymptomatic for one year and a half, and treated well, had good outcomes.
