This report documents the involvement of Schwannoma in the superficial radial nerve in the forearm. An 18-year-old male patient presented with a soft swelling in his radial left forearm for 3 years. Neurological examination shows pain and electrical sensation on palpation over the mass otherwise no motor dysfunction. Subsequently, surgical exploration revealed that the superficial radial nerve was infiltrated by Schwannoma. The encircling tumor underwent nerve-sparing enucleation. The lesion was a pale-yellow solid mass encapsulated in a smooth membrane. Histological examination yielded the diagnosis of Schwannoma. The result of surgical enucleation was satisfactory. Postoperatively, there was no neurologic deficit and the patient had normal sensation and motor function.
