Summary

Schwannomas are the most common peripheral nerve sheath tumors in adults, originating from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. These tumors are benign, solitary, non-invasive, and encapsulated, with no gender preference. They are more commonly observed in individuals in their fourth decade of life. In this case series, we present schwannomas arising from various peripheral nerves across different age groups, with varying clinical presentations, and their management without any postoperative functional deficits.

Key words

peripheral nerve – Schwannoma – radial nerve – median nerve
