Abstract
Benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors arising from the brachial plexus are rare, in general have a good prognosis. And the most common tumor arising from peripheral nerves is the schwannoma(also called neurilemoma or neurinoma). Malig- nant transformation is extremely rare. The tumors are composed of Schwann cells which support the peripheral nerve fibers, and are neuroectodermal in origin. We will present a case of brachial plexus schwannoma with surgical excision of anterior supraclavicular approach.
