Axillary swelling arising from soft tissue is not uncommon. Lipoma, Lymphadenopathy due to Kochs or Lymphoma are commonest swellings seen but firm to hard non tender mass arising from maninges of Brachial plexus is not so common. Usually these masses are benign but one may come across malignant tumour. Twenty-three year male presented with mass in anterior chest wall & arm pit having no other specific complaints, was diagnosed as Spindle cell tumour on FNAC & excision biopsy turned out to be Neurofibroma of Brachial plexus.
源于软组织的腋窝肿胀并不罕见。脂肪瘤、由结核或淋巴瘤引起的淋巴结病是最常见的肿胀,但源于臂丛神经脑膜的坚硬至硬的无压痛肿块并不常见。通常这些肿块是良性的,但也可能遇到恶性肿瘤。一名23岁男性因前胸壁和腋窝有肿块就诊,无其他特殊主诉,经细针穿刺抽吸活检(FNAC)诊断为梭形细胞瘤,切除活检结果为臂丛神经纤维瘤。
