Multifocal neurilemomas in the same upper extremity - Case report

Multifocal neurilemomas in different nerves of the same upper extremity are rare. A 36-year-old woman presented with five neurilemomas involving the main trunks of the median and radial nerve and digital nerves of her left upper extremity. These were excised and she recovered without complications. Fifteen years later she presented with several recurrences which were removed, and two years after that she required a further operation to excise rumours. At the time of writing she has at least five tumours on different nerves of her left arm but these are causing her no problems.
