Peripheral nerve sheath tumours (PNSTs) of the hand are rare. Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are the commonest benign PNSTs. They arise from a proliferation of Schwann cells. Aetiology is unclear. In this report, the authors present the case of a lifelong Rugby Fives (a handball variant) player who developed a symptomatic benign schwannoma at the impact point on his palm. To our knowledge, there are no documented cases of upper limb schwannomas which may be related to repetitive trauma from sport.
手部周围神经鞘瘤(PNSTs)较为罕见。施万细胞瘤,也称为神经鞘瘤,是最常见的良性PNSTs。它们由施万细胞增殖形成。病因尚不清楚。在本报告中,作者介绍了一名终身从事橄榄球五人制运动(手球变体)的运动员的病例,该运动员在手掌的撞击点处出现了有症状的良性施万细胞瘤。据我们所知,尚无文献记载上肢施万细胞瘤可能与运动引起的重复性创伤有关的病例。
