Abstract

Primary tumors of the brachial plexus are unusual. We describe a patient with a large schwannoma of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus that had the radiologic appearance of an apical lung mass. Use of a posterior subscapular approach as well as intraoperative nerve action potential recording permitted resection with spared function.

摘要

臂丛神经原发性肿瘤较为罕见。我们描述了一名患有臂丛神经下干巨大神经鞘瘤的患者，该肿瘤在影像学上表现为肺尖部肿块。采用肩胛下后入路以及术中神经动作电位记录，使得肿瘤得以切除且功能得以保留。
