Surgery of Schwannoma in the upper limb - sensitivity and specificity of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and relation between tumour size and symptoms.

Background: Benign peripheral nerve tumours consist of different types, most commonly Schwannomas. Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly performed before surgery and Pathoanatomical Diagnosis (PAD) confirms the diagnosis. Our aims were to study the utility of MRI and the relation between tumour size and symptoms.
