Nerve Tumours

Peripheral nerves, the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord and go through the rest of the body, are home to abnormal lumps known as nerve tumours. The nerve sheath, or protective coating, and supporting tissue are where nerve tumours grow. Most are good. However, because they can push on nerves and result in discomfort, nerve damage, and/or loss of function, even some noncancerous tumours need to be treated. Depending on the nature, nerve tumours can develop slowly or swiftly. Some people merely require monitoring and don't require any therapy. Rarely, malignant nerve tumours require aggressive therapy.
