SCHWANNOMA OF THE RIGHT ULNAR NERVE: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Schwannomas are rare tumours that most commonly arise from peripheral nerve sheaths. They are mostly situated in the extremities (upper more than lower) and are solitary. The majority of these tumours are benign, and malignant transformation is very rare. The diagnosis is mostly made after histopathological examination. We hereby report a case of schwannoma of the right ulnar nerve which we recently encountered. Complete excision of the tumour was done sparing the nerve. Case report: A 70-year-old female presented to us with history of swelling over the left forearm from past 4 years. Local examination showed a tender ill-dened swelling over medial aspect of right forearm, measuring 6 × 5 cm. The swelling was excised completely sparing the ulnar nerve. The histopathology revealed it to be a schwannoma. Conclusion: Schwannoma is a rare nerve sheath tumour frequently diagnosed after a histopathological examination of soft-tissue neoplasm. Resection of the tumour with nerve preservation is the treatment of choice as chance of recurrences is very low.
