Giant Schwannoma of ulnar nerve: case report Work developed in the Centro Hospitalar São João, Porto, Portugal.

ABSTRACT

Schwannomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the peripheral nerves in the upper limbs. Although many are asymptomatic, they can produce a mass effect, thus impinging against soft tissues or interfering with joint function. The authors present a case report and a review of a giant Schwannoma in the ulnar nerve.
