title: [Clinical and pathologic analysis of 33 cases of brachial plexus neurinoma].
abstract: Clinical and pathological findings in 33 cases of brachial plexus neurinoma are reported. In 30 cases (90.91%) the diagnosis was proved to be correct by postoperative histological sections, and in other 3 cases (9.09%) the diagnosis couldn't be made preoperatively. The 33 cases were subjected to surgical resections and 18 (54.55%) of them still felt numbness and pain within two weeks after surgery. Sixteen cases were followed up for three months and 14 (87.5%) of them felt numbness by percussion over the incision. All the 33 cases had no brachial plexus traumatic complication postoperatively.
