Abstract

Ancient schwannoma is a variant of schwannoma and is characterized slowly growing tumor with degenerative change. And it is reported that schwannoma is relatively rare in extensor area. As a rare cause of solitary ancient schwannoma in extensor area of upper arm, we report it.

고대 신경초종(ancient schwannoma)은 신경초종의 변이(variant)로서 천천히 자라나고 퇴행성 변화를 동반한 양성종양으로 알려져 있다. 또한 신경초종은 신전부에서는 상대적으로 드물게 발생하는 것으로 보고되어 왔다. 저자들은 50세 남자 환자의 상완 신전부 삼두근에서 발생한 고립성 고대 신경초종을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 하였다.
