Popis:	The neurilemmoma, or schwannoma, is a solitary, the most common benign tumor arising from peripheral nerve. The tumor characteristically arises from only one location in a peripheral nerve, although several instances have been reported in which the tumors have occurred in multiple locations within the same nerve trunk.A case of multiple neurilemmomas is reported. There were 2 tumors in the forearm and 1 in the upper arm. All three tumors involved the radial nerve. The tumors were well encapsulated and we could enucleate them easily from parent nerve surgically. Histologically, the neurilemmoma was comfirmed. After operation, the patient showed temporary mild paralysis of the radial nerve which recovered promptly. And now he remains free of additional tumors.We have not found a previous report of multiple neurilemmomas arising from the radial nerve.
