  • Title: Differentiation of Peripheral Nerve Tumors in the Brachial Plexus.
    Author: Veldman A, Eggleston H.
    Journal: S D Med; 2023 Feb; 76(2):80-82. PubMed ID: 36898075.
    Abstract:
    Schwannomas are benign extracranial nerve sheath tumors that can rarely affect the brachial plexus. Due to the relative rarity of these tumors and the complexity of the anatomy of the neck and shoulder, these tumors are a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. We present a case report of a 51-year-old male with a brachial plexus schwannoma definitively treated with surgical resection. It is our hope that this case serves as a reminder to consider schwannomas in the differential diagnosis for infraclavicular tumors.
