Abstract
- Brachial plexus tumours are a rare entity. Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumours and only about 5% arise from the brachial plexus. Due to its rarity and complex anatomical location they can pose a formidable challenge to surgeons. We present a case of a young patient who presented with an axillary swelling three months after a lymph node biopsy from the same axilla, which turned out to be a Schwannoma arising for the medial cord of the brachial plexus.
