Left axillary Schwannoma with Ganglional Involvement of Malignant Appearance: A Rare Case Report
Schwannomas are tumors, generally benign, originating in the Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. These tumors are usually located in the head, neck, arms, legs, body and chest, while axillary involvement is uncommon. The etiology of schwannomas is uncertain, but it is believed to be related to metastatic diseases, radiotherapy and advanced age. Symptoms are often absent or present as a tumor with paresthesia and/or radiating local pain, making early diagnosis difficult.
