Benign Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors: Recurrence Rates and Pain Outcomes Following Excision

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
