“…In a similar case, a brachial plexus venous hemangioma manifested as an enlargement of the soft- tissue mass without any motor or sensory symptoms. However, during the surgical procedure, intraoperative findings revealed hypervascularity and bleeding associated with the lesion[ 11 ].…”

Introduction: Vascular anomalies, comprising up to 4.5% of the general population, are aberrations occurring during vascular development. Vascular abnormalities are frequently identified in children and frequently exhibit characteristics similar to nerve sheath tumors. We report a case of 16 years old boy with a arterio-venous malformation (AVM) affecting the brachial plexus. We discuss the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and histopathological findings in this patient and review the relevant literature. Case Report: A 16-year-old boy presented with pain, paresthesia, swelling, and reduced grip strength of the hand. Radiological investigations revealed a vascular lesion encasing C5, C6 nerve roots and displacing the C7 root. Near total surgical excision of the lesion was done with preservation of nerve. Histopathology confirmed AVM with distinct features. Conclusion: High-resolution ultrasound is crucial for diagnosing soft-tissue vascular anomalies. Surgeons well versed in micro surgical skill play a key role in minimizing neural deficits. In the case of vascular malformations of brachial plexus, near total excision is the most favorable option. Keywords: Vascular anomalies, arterio-venous malformation, brachial plexus.

“…In the few reported cases of hemangiomas causing brachial plexopathy, patients presented with a palpable tender neck or clavicular mass and varying degrees of pain and sensory changes, with minimal to no motor symptoms. 1,6,7 Additionally, most reports of brachial plexus hemangiomas describe extraneural hemangiomas. One case of intraneural brachial plexus hemangioma has been reported, which similarly describes a patient with a tender supraclavicular palpable mass and only mild deltoid weakness with otherwise preserved motor exam.…”

Brachial plexopathy is a common consideration in the differential diagnosis of upper extremity sensory and motor deficits, and neoplasms signify one possible etiology of brachial plexopathy. Of the neoplastic brachial plexopathies, hemangiomas involving the brachial plexus are rare. Most reported cases describe extraneural brachial plexus hemangiomas that present as a palpable, tender neck mass associated with pain and sensory disturbance, with minimal motor deficits. Here we share the case of a 48 year-old man with intraneural epithelioid hemangioma of the brachial plexus who presented with prominent motor weakness and no palpable mass. The patient presented with subacute onset of left arm pain, numbness and progressive weakness. Neurologic exam revealed lower motor neuron signs and weakness spanning multiple nerve root and peripheral nerve distributions. Dedicated brachial plexus MRI showed two mass lesions involving the cords of the brachial plexus, with corresponding FDG-avidity on PET/CT. Biopsy revealed intraneural atypical epithelioid hemangioma. After nerve transfer surgery, he had moderate improvement in left arm strength. This case serves to: emphasize the importance of both clinical localization and dedicated brachial plexus imaging in the evaluation of brachial plexopathy; introduce to the literature a new clinical presentation of brachial plexus hemangiomas; encourage consideration of neoplastic brachial plexopathy even when faced with an illness script resembling Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.

“…Em consonância com os estudos atuais sobre a diversidade das neoplasias malignas, os hemangiomas são geralmente diagnosticados como um sarcoma ou tumor da bainha do nervo periférico (ABDOLRAZAGHI et al, 2020).…”

“…Não há predileção sexual para esse tumor, e a idade de início é na idade adulta jovem. Além disso, este tipo de tumor é mais comum em pacientes com doença de Von Recklinghausen (ABDOLRAZAGHI et al, 2020). Em pacientes com tumores do plexo braquial, a dor tende a ser constante e em queimação, sendo a parestesia uma ocorrência comum.…”
