ABSTRACT
Neurogenic tumors of the brachial plexus region are relatively rare. We report a recent experience of schwannoma of the right brachial plexus in the inferior trunk, which was successfully treated by microsurgical resection. A 38-year- old man presented a dysesthetic pain in the supraclavicular area and the right forearm of C6, 7 dermatome. Rubbery hard mass was palpated in the right supraclavicular area and magnetic resonance imaging showed a well circumscribed, well enhanced ovoid mass with cystic degeneration on the right brachial plexus portion. The patient underwent complete removal of the mass through the anterior cervicothoracic (modified Dartevelle) approach. At the postoperative 3 months, there is no neurologic deficit.
