Benign neoplasm: peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system - what does this mean
Benign neoplasms of the peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system occur when nerve cells grow abnormally, forming a mass or tumor that is not cancerous. these tumors can cause nerve compression, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. they can also affect the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, leading to changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and other involuntary functions.
What happens during the disease - benign neoplasm: peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system
Benign neoplasms of the peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system are thought to arise from an abnormal proliferation of cells within the nerve sheath, which can lead to compression of the nerve, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness. in some cases, the neoplasm can also cause disruption of the body's autonomic nervous system, resulting in changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and sweating.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Neurological examination
- Imaging studies (CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound)
- Biopsy
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Nerve conduction study
- Blood tests
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the size of the benign neoplasm and reduce the symptoms associated with it.
- Surgery to remove the neoplasm
- Chemotherapy to shrink the tumor
- Radiation therapy to reduce the tumor size
- Targeted drug therapy to block growth factors
- Physical therapy to improve mobility and strength
- Occupational therapy to improve function
- Psychotherapy to address any emotional distress
- Pain management to reduce discomfort
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
