Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neurilemmoma is a benign encapsulated nerve sheath tumor originated from peripheral nerve. Previously its preoperative diagnosis had mainly depended on the history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic test, ultrasonography, bone scan. But only with these diagnostic modalities, exact preoperative diagnosis was nearly impossible. Therefore operation was performed under the impression of lipoma or just simple soft tissue tumor. Recently, the advent of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has made it easier to diagnose neurilemmoma before surgery MRI also helps to determine the extent of lesion and operative procedures. We performed marginal excision in 24 cases, evaluated those cases with respect to the sex, age, location, chief complaint, duration of illness, preoperative diagnosis, involved nerve, imaging studies, size of mass, complication, duration of follow-up and report with review of the literature.
