These nerves are divided into smaller tubes called fascicles. The tumors grow from one of the fascicles and start affecting the function of the others causing these symptoms.

Seven tumours were successfully removed from a single nerve in the thigh of a 50-year-old gentleman at Manipal Hospital, Goa, the largest being 12 cm in size. Only a handful of cases like this one have been known to have occurred across the world.
This patient presented with a painful swelling at the back of thigh which was gradually enlarging. Slowly he stated developing pain while sitting due to pressure and also along the nerve causing severe discomfort.
