  • Title: Plexiform schwannoma of the forearm.
    Author: Katsumi K, Ogose A, Hotta T, Hatano H, Kawashima H, Umezu H, Endo N.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2003 Dec; 32(12):719-23. PubMed ID: 14593503.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of plexiform schwannoma located in the flexor muscles of the forearm in the absence of other signs of neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis. Magnetic resonance examination revealed a multinodular irregular inhomogeneous mass. Some nodules displayed a peripheral, high intensity rim and a central low intensity (target sign) on T2-weighted images. Pre-operative diagnosis of the rare plexiform schwannoma may be possible with careful imaging examination for the target sign.
