Lobulated Schwannoma of the Median Nerve Pitfalls in Diagnostic Imaging

Lobulated Schwannoma of the Median Nerve Pitfalls in Diagnostic Imaging The authors report an unusual case of volar wrist swelling with the appearance of a simple ganglion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, operative and histologic examination identified the swelling as an ancient schwannoma. Ancient schwannomas mostly present as a solitary tumor. A lobulated tumor in this location has not been described previously. The pathologic findings of these uncommon tumors and the difficulties encountered in accurate preoperative diagnosis are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

The authors report an unusual case of volar wrist swelling with the appearance of a simple ganglion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, operative and histologic examination identified the swelling as an ancient schwannoma. Ancient schwannomas mostly present as a solitary tumor. A lobulated tumor in this location has not been described previously. The pathologic findings of these uncommon tumors and the difficulties encountered in accurate preoperative diagnosis are discussed.
