Peripheral nerve sheath tumor-forearmtumour - forearm
Body
was changed:
One year follow up showed no significant interval change in the benign looking-looking soft tissue mass.
This case demonstrates classic findings of a peripheral nerve sheath tumorstumor on MRI.
The combination of the above described MRI findings represents a neurogenic origin of the tumor and the lack of multiple malignant traits makes benign peripheral nerve sheath tumorstumor the most likely the diagnosis.
Imaging alone is not enough to distinguish between schwannoma and neurofibroma, and can only be differentiated by histopathology.
PatientThe patient is not considering surgical intervals currently given the stability of the mass's and lack of symptoms.
