Abstract
Benign tumors of brachial plexus (BP) are relatively rare. However, these tumors pose a surgical challenge due to their origin in an anatomically complex region containing neurovascular tissue nexus. We describe a case of giant BP schwannoma involving the right neck and supraclavicular fossa extending to the right pectoral region without any associated neurological deficit.
