摘要
The schwannoma is a benign tumour that can be eradicated; it usually occurs in the peripheral nerves of the upper limb. We report an exceptional localization in the axillary nerve. The diagnosis is based on the typical MRI appearance: in addition, confirmation of the diagnosis has to be made by histological examination. The surgical treatment by resection, taking care to preserve adjacent nerve fibres. This allows recovery without any after-effects since the recurrence rate as well as the potential for malignant transformation of this type of tumour is low. (C) 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS.
