This review focuses on localized and whole-body MR imaging features for the more common benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors of schwannomas and neurofibromas compared with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, including for sporadic tumors and tumors associated with neurofibromatosis syndromes. Additional less common tumors and tumor-like conditions associated with the peripheral nerves are reviewed for salient distinguishing features.
