Schwannoma of the brachial plexus; report of two cases involving the C7 root.
Brachial plexus schwannomas are rare tumors. They are benign nerve sheath tumors and only about 5% of Schwannoma arise from the brachial plexus. They pose a great challenge to surgeons due to their rare occurrence and complex anatomical location. We present two cases who presented with a supraclavicular swelling, that were proven to be schwannoma on histopathology.
期刊介绍:
JBPPNI is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will encompass all aspects of basic and clinical research findings, in the area of brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injury. Injury in this context refers to congenital, inflammatory, traumatic, degenerative and neoplastic processes, including neurofibromatosis. Papers on diagnostic and imaging aspects of the peripheral nervous system are welcomed as well. The peripheral nervous system is unique in its complexity and scope of influence. There are areas of interest in the anatomy, physiology, metabolism, phylogeny, and limb growth tropism of peripheral nerves.
