Schwannomas of the Hand and Wrist: Long-Term Results and Review of the Literature

Abstract

in one patient in whom the tumour was resected with the digital nerve. No recurrence or muscle atrophy was noted at the latest follow-up. Conclusion. Meticulous dissection with magnification can achieve complete tumour removal without neurological loss or recurrence. Intracapsular tumour removal provides good results with a low complication rate.

A rare cause of forearm pain: Schwannoma of the posterior interosseoz nerve

“…Üst ekstremitedeki periferik sinirlerde alt ekstremitedekilere göre daha fazla görülür. [3] Tüm schwannomlar arasında radial sinir kaynaklı olanların oranı %7 olarak bildirilmiştir fakat literatürde sadece sınırlı sayıda olgu sunumu bulunmaktadır. [4] Schwannomlar daha derinde bulunan periferik sinirlerden kaynaklandığında ağrı, parestezi, kuvvetsizlik gibi semptomlarla karşımıza gelebileceği gibi sadece ağrısız bir şişlik olarak da prezente olabilirler.…”

An Unusual Presentation of a Digital Schwannoma: Case Report

“…2 Lateral radiograph of the left long finger demonstrating minimal swelling about the dorsal distal phalanx and mild degenerative changes, without signs of cortical disruption or boney lesion Fig. 3 Gross specimen demonstrating the firm yellow mass without an appreciable stalk or association with any neurologic structure, as well as some surrounding adipose tissue having the more common ganglion, fibroma, xanthoma, or lipoma [12]. Our patient presented with many of the characteristic features of a mucous cyst, having a solitary asymptomatic painless mass about the dorsal aspect of the DIP joint with associated grooving of the nail plate.…”

“…They are also known as neurilemmomas and represent less than 5 % of all upper extremity tumors [1] and 2.8 % of biopsied benign soft-tissue tumors of the hand and wrist [10]. Although most commonly found in the head and neck, schwannomas of the hand and wrist have been reported and reviewed [12]. Schwannomas of the upper extremity typically appear on the volar surface of the hand or arm.…”

A 20-year follow-up after replantation of the right midfoot in an eight-year-old child

“…In literature, there is no strict consensus about whether the tumor should become extracapsular excised or intracapsular enucleated to avoid fascicle lesions intraoperatively [5,6]. Even though there are some radiological features that point to the diagnosis of Schwannoma, ultrasonography and MRI scan cannot predict whether the tumor can be completely enucleated when a portion has fascicular involvement leading to residual neurological deficit after excision [4].…”
