  • Title: Femoral nerve neurilemmoma in the iliac fossa.
    Author: Smedh K, Olaison G, Nyström PO, Hillman J, Sjödahl R.
    Journal: Ann Chir Gynaecol; 1993; 82(1):63-5. PubMed ID: 8323240.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of femoral nerve neurilemmoma in the right iliac fossa, presenting as a firm tumour with local discomfort, is described. Modern imaging techniques could not differentiate the tumour. At explorative laparotomy the tumour was identified as a neurilemmoma of the femoral nerve and enucleated. The diagnosis should be borne in mind in cases of retroperitoneal tumours of unclear origin. Inappropriate surgery results in nerve damage and paralysis.
