Paramedian neuroma presenting as a ganglion.
Peripheral nerve tumors are rare, usually encapsulated and intraneural in location. A 33-year-old woman with a nonencapsulated paraneural neoplasm of the median nerve obtained pain relief without recurrence from surgical excision of the tumor. This represents an exceedingly rare disorder of peripheral nerves.
