ABSTRACT
Radicular pain on the arm often referred to cervical disc problems. If cervical MRI is normal, then it is necessary to rule out peripheral nerve tumor. A 54-year old man presented with radicular pain in his left arm, investigated for cervical disc problems, with normal cervical MRI. Examination shows a positive Tinel’s sign on the proximal part of his left arm. Focal MRI revealed a lobulated tumor in the radial nerve 1.5 cm in diameter. The patient was operated and the tumor was completely removed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.
