Abstract
Axillary swelling arising from soft tissue is not uncommon. Lipoma, Lymphadenopathy due to Kochs or Lymphoma are commonest swellings seen but firm to hard non tender mass arising from maninges of Brachial plexus is not so common. Usually these masses are benign but one may come across malignant tumour. Twenty-three year male presented with mass in anterior chest wall & arm pit having no other specific complaints, was diagnosed as Spindle cell tumour on FNAC & excision biopsy turned out to be Neurofibroma of Brachial plexus.Entities:
