Résumé :

This is a report of 3 patients who had brachial plexus tumors associated with thyroid tumors. The brachial plexus tumors were schwannomas in 2 patients and a neurofibrosarcoma in one. The thyroid tumors were a carcinoma in 2 patients and a large colloid goiter in one. The association of these two conditions may be coincidental, particularly since they have nothing in common from the standpoints of embryology and pathology. However, it is interesting that approximately 10% of the reported cases of brachial plexus schwannoma have had an associated thyroid tumor. © 1977 Société Internationale de Chirurgie.
