ABSTRACT
Neurilemmoma is a benign, solitary tumor which may occur from the nerve sheath of the peripheral, sympathetic and cranial nerves. Although it occurs most frequently in the head and neck region, especially in the acoustic nerve and the vagus nerve, the neurilemmoma of the brachial plexus is rare. We have experienced a case of neurilemmoma in the brachial plexus. Surgical excision was performed by anterior supraclavicular approach. The mass was removed completely, sparing the nerve function. We report this case with literature review.
