FRFloris V. RaasveldTHTareq M. HannaFPFernando J. Pacheco

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the recurrence rates and pain outcomes of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors following excision.
  • Examined data on benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors affecting extremities
  • Identified associations with histological subtypes, recurrence risk factors, and pain outcomes
  • Analyzed statistical relationships between age, neurofibromas, and recurrence rates
  • Schwannomas are the most common subtype of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors
  • Younger age, neurofibromas, and motor deficits are linked to higher recurrence rates
  • Distribution patterns of tumors help in planning surgical interventions

Abstract

BPNSTs primarily affect the extremities, with schwannomas being the predominant histological subtype. Neurofibromas, NF1, postoperative motor deficits, psychiatric comorbidity, and younger age were associated with increased recurrence risk. Understanding these distribution patterns and recurrence factors is important for surgical planning and patient counseling.
