Abstract :
Schwannomas are benign tumours of schwan cell origin, and can involve cranial nerve, spinal nerve roots, intercostal nerve, posterior mediastinum, reteroperitonium . Solitary peripheral nerve tumours are uncommon . The can involve a peripheral nerve partially or completely. They usually present as an innocuous solitary mass in the extremities in 3rd to 5th decade of life, with or without associated neurological symptoms. . Schwannomas are the commonest benign tumours detected in the peripheral nerves representing approximately 8% of all soft tissue neoplasms. They are non-invasive, arise from the peripheral nerve sheath, encapsulated by epineurium. In this article , we present a 30 year old female diagnosed as peripheral ulnar nerve tumour. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment helped us in preventing permanent nerve damage .
