RESUMO
In this report, we present a rare case of a vascular brachial plexus tumor. The patient was a 29-year-old woman with the chief complaint of progressive enlargement of a soft tissue mass in the left upper extremity, without any pain or sensory, motor, or neurologic deficits. The soft tissue mass had presented in the left deltopectoral groove eight years ago. However, the patient had not been evaluated in the past eight years and was only recently admitted to a referral hospital. After complete examination, she underwent surgery for a nerve sheath tumor of the brachial plexus.

We report a rare case of multiple hereditary exostosis where patient presented with bilateral base of neck exostoses with concurrent compression of brachial plexus and subclavian artery and vein. The patient was a young 26-year-old woman with chief complaints of pain in the left upper extremity, paresthesia in the left ring and little finger, and weakness in hand movement and grip. On referral, history, physical examination, radiological imaging, and electrodiagnostic tests evaluated the patient. Due to severe pain and disability in performing routine activities, surgical intervention was necessary. In the current case, the patient had thoracic outlet syndrome with concomitant venous, arterial, and neurogenic sub types. Radial pulse returned and pain associated with brachial plexus compression was resolved after the surgery.
