ULTRASOUND EVALUATION OF BENIGN SCIATIC-NERVE SHEATH TUMORS JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE HODDICK, W. K., Callen, P. W., Filly, R. A., MAHONY, B. S., Edwards, M. B. 1984; 3 (11): 505-507

Abstract

The ultrasonograms of three patients with surgically proven benign tumors of the sciatic nerve sheath were reviewed. Two lesions were neurilemmomas and one was a neurofibroma. All lesions appeared hypoechoic and often demonstrated characteristics typically associated with cystic abnormalities. Although the sciatic nerve is not routinely delineated as a separate anatomic structure by ultrasound, neoplastic enlargements of the nerve can be demonstrated.
