Surgical treatment of rare peripheral nerve lesions: long-term outcomes and quality of life.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Rare peripheral nerve lesions comprise a histologically diverse group of neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities, characterized by infrequent occurrence and variable clinical presentations, presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study presents eight cases of surgically treated rare peripheral nerve lesions with previously unreported long-term outcomes involving quality of life (QOL) assessment.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records from 2012 to 2022 to identify surgically treated cases of rare peripheral nerve lesions, selecting eight cases based on determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Long-term outcomes and QOL were assessed 12 months post-surgery by patient examination, control imaging and self-rep
