Nadir görülen bir önkol ağrısı nedeni: Posterior interosseöz sinir Schwannomu

Schwannomlar ‘nörilemma’ olarak da adlandırılan schwann hücrelerinden kaynaklanan periferik sinirlerin en sık görülen benign tümörüdür. Sıklıkla baş ve boyun bölgesinden kaynaklanan soliter lezyonlardır. Tanı esasında ultrasonografi, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve histopatolojik incelemelere dayanır. Kapsüllü olduğundan dolayı cerrahi eksizyon sonrasında nüks ihtimali düşüktür ve iyi bir prognoza sahiptir. Bu yazıda, ilk bakışta ganglion kistini taklit eden bir schwannom olgusu sunuldu.

A rare cause of forearm pain: Schwannoma of the posterior interosseous nerve

A schwannoma, also known as a neurilemoma, is composed of Schwann cells, and is the most common benign tumor of the peripheral nerves. It commonly appears as a solitary lesion in the head and neck region. The diagnosis is based on ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathological examination. This encapsulated tumor has a good prognosis with a low recurrence rate after surgical removal. This case report is a description of a forearm schwannoma that initially appeared to be a ganglion cyst.
