Median nerve schwannoma

A Rare Hand Pain Cause, Schwannoma with Median Nerve Localisation

“…In T1-and T2-weighted images, high signal intensity is evident and there is a heterogeneous, sharp-edge contrast uptake. It shows the In the differential diagnosis of these tumors, a fine needle aspiration biopsy can reveal neurogenic source of the tumor 3,4 . Despite all these methods, the diagnosis of these tumors can usually be made after surgery 1,5 .…”

“…Schwannomas rarely show malignant transformation and are encapsulated and well-circumscribed tumors. It shows a biphasic pattern histopathologically 3,4 .…”

“…The gold standard in the treatment is the complete excision of the tumor, preserving the nerve structure from which the tumor originated. In incomplete resections, 10% recurrence is reported [1][2][3][4][5] . In our case, the tumor was removed totally from the nerve by blunt dissection after dissection from the vesselnerve pack.…”

“…It can be seen at all ages, mostly between the ages of 20 and 50 years, and the ratio of female to male is 2:1 2 . Although Schwannomas arise from the peripheral nerves by 20%, they are mostly in the head and neck [1][2][3][4] . Peripheral nerve Schwannomas symptoms may mimic nerve entrapment syndrome symptoms, so they should be differentiated carefully in the differential diagnosis.No medical treatment of Schwannomas exists, thereby it is completely surgical 5 .…”

A rare case of a median nerve schwannoma: Case report

“…They make up around 5% of primary soft tissue tumors in the upper extremities. While they can occur at any age, they are commonly found in middle-aged adults from 20 to 50 years old [2] . Clinically, features include a palpable mass with discomfort or pain and sensory and motor deficits depending on its location and size [3] .…”
