Tumors and tumor-like lesions of peripheral nerves.
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology 2010 November
The diagnosis of a peripheral nerve tumor can often be suggested on imaging. Direct continuity with a neural structure or location along a typical nerve distribution, shape, and intrinsic magnetic resonance (MR) signal characteristics represent the most important signs in this regard. Although several nonneoplastic nerve lesions can be specifically diagnosed by MR imaging, benign and malignant neoplasms of peripheral nerves can usually not be distinguished with confidence. This article reviews the MR imaging appearance, clinical and pathological features of schwannoma, localized neurofibroma, plexiform neurofibroma, intraneural perineurioma, fibrolipomatous hamartoma, nerve sheath ganglion, traumatic neuroma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, and secondary malignant neoplasms of peripheral nerves. Typical findings are illustrated on the basis of histologically confirmed cases.
