  • Title: [Peripheral nerve tumors].
    Author: Lapierre F, Rigoard P, Wager M.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 2009 Oct; 55(4-5):413-20. PubMed ID: 19796780.
    Abstract:
    Peripheral nerve tumors are most often benign tumors of the nerve sheath; uncommonly they come from the nerve cells or are metastatic tumors. A precise diagnosis is required for well-adapted and effective treatment, as is good knowledge of fibromatosis diseases. In some cases, the diagnosis of the nerve tumor will lead to a diagnosis of phakomatosis. Surgical treatment must be clearly discussed, which, in case of schwannomas gives very good functional results. Primitive malignant tumors remain an unsolved therapeutic problem.
