Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors derived from Schwann cells and are the most common type of peripheral nerve tumor.

Although various solid tumors can develop in the axilla, only a few cases of schwannoma in the axillary cavity have been reported. Herein, we describe the sonographic appearance of a schwannoma arising from the brachial plexus in the axilla.
