Abstract:
A 34-year-old man had a right distal forearm mass of unknown etiology for 6 years. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumor in continuity with the median nerve. Fine-needle biopsy revealed it to be a schwannoma. Surgical excision was performed by separating the nerve fascicles from the tumor. The patient was asymptomatic at 12-month follow-up.
