Abstract

A 30-year-old woman presented with multiple neurilemmomas in the same upper extremity. One originated from the main trunk of the ulnar nerve and two others from the sensory branch of the median nerve. A communicating branch in the palm from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve was confirmed. All the tumours were successfully enucleated and she made a satisfactory recovery.
