Özet

Objective: Benign schwannomas are the most common tumour of the peripheral nerves. Symptomatic schwannomas are treated by surgical excision, but new neurological deficits may develop. We performed a retrospective review of cases of schwannomas in the extremities and reviewed the relevant literature.
