Diagnosis: Benign Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor - Schwannoma
Schwannomas are a type of peripheral nerve sheath tumor usually presenting as a slow-growing soft tissue mass.
These lesions may become symptomatic due to mass effect on adjacent structures or compression of the adjacent nerve.
Central cystic degeneration or hemorrhage may occur.
