Abstract
Multiple schwannomatosis is a rare disease characterised by masses of soft consistency affecting the nerve sheaf. It is important make a differential diagnosis with other soft tissue tumours, such as ganglia. We present a rare case, not described in literature reviewed by us, of a man with bilateral multiple schwannomatosis affecting both upper limbs, with a very florid clinical appearance and frequent recurrences. It is important to carry out periodic reviews of these patients to rule out new recurrences. Up until now, there have been no reported cases of malignant transformation.
