Description
Xia Yongning and colleagues report a rare giant nerve tumor in a 30-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1, a gene disorder that raises tumor risk, published in 2026. The growth sat in his neck and upper chest, wrapped around key blood vessels, and pressed on the nerves of his right arm. His hand had grown weak, with clear muscle loss.
Care mixed three-dimensional imaging, a step to block one artery before surgery, and full removal of the tumor with vessel repair, all while sparing nerve function. He then had radiation treatment and stayed free of regrowth at checks six and twelve months later. The authors offer the case as a guide for like cases, while warning that these tumors often return.
