Peripheral nerve tumours: A 66-case retrospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the therapeutic management of benign tumours such as Schwannomas can be considered to be relatively simple thanks to the application of the basic concepts of peripheral nerve microsurgery, malignant tumors, despite being very rare, require multidisciplinary management. The option of pre-surgical biopsy remains a controversial issue and no consensus has been reached among the different authors. In our opinion, percutaneous biopsy is not necessary in most cases.
