Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Schwannomas are the most common type of neoplasm of the peripheral nerves. Enucleation is a standard surgical procedure; however, it occasionally results in iatrogenic nerve injury, even with atraumatic procedures. Herein, we present the clinical characteristics of schwannoma arising in the extremities and discuss the clinical outcomes of extra- and intra-capsular enucleation.
