ABSTRACT
Tumorous or tumour-like lesions of peripheral nerves are generally rare, heterogeneous and challenging to diagnose and treat. They may become apparent by a palpable swelling (lump) near nerves, sensory and/or motor deficits, pain to touch or neuropathic pain. In 91% of cases, tumours are benign. The differentiation of entities and their characteristics as well as a function-preserving resection strategy are highly relevant. Misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment can lead to severe deficits and pain syndromes. Benign tumours include schwannomas and neurofibromas, which can occur sporadically but can also be associated with neurogenetic tumour disposition syndromes if they occur more frequently. Rarer benign nerve tumours include perineuriomas, lipomas, aggressive fibrosis (desmoid tumours), paragangliomas and haemangiomas. Ganglion cysts are described as tumour-like lesions. The association of nerve tumours with neurogenetic syndromes and the correct classification of potentially malignant lesions such as MPNST (malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour) or intermediate stages such as ANNUBPs (atypical neurofibromatous neoplasms with unknown biological potential) pose particular challenges. Interdisciplinarity is highly relevant for clinical treatment and a correct diagnosis. The aim of our work is to provide an overview of the relevant entities, diagnostic evaluation and contemporary treatment strategies based on the current data situation and taking into account the recently published interdisciplinary AWMF S2k guideline "Diagnosis and Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Tumours".
