Tumors of peripheral nerves in the upper extremity are uncommon. All too frequently this diagnosis is made intraoperatively or postoperatively with the potential to compromise the outcome of treatment. An appropriate index of suspicion is necessary for inclusion of peripheral nerve tumors and a differential diagnosis of an upper extremity mass. Knowledge of this group of neoplasms will help direct evaluation and treatment.
