Abstract
Intrinsic haemangioma of the median nerve is an extremely rare tumor that represents a challenge to diagnose and treat. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 10βyearβold girl who was diagnosed having an intrinsic haemangioma of the median nerve and treated with total surgical resection of the tumor, under high magnification, using microneurolysis and without the need to resect and graft the median nerve. Three years later, the patient is free of symptoms and no recurrence of the mass was noticed. Β© 2008 WileyβLiss, Inc. Microsurgery, 2008.
