Description
Summary: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. Os schwannomas são os tumores benignos mais comuns dos nervos periféricos nos membros superiores. Embora muitos sejam assintomáticos, podem produzir um efeito de massa e assim comprimir os tecidos moles adjacentes ou interferir com a função articular. Os autores apresentam um relato de caso e uma revisão de um caso de schwannoma gigante no nervo cubital.
