"Pre-surgical biopsy of peripheral nerve sheath tumours (usually an ultrasound-guided core biopsy) is typically reserved for lesions with indeterminate or malignant clinical and/or radiological features; the risk of biopsy (e.g. new/worsening neuropathic pain or sensory/motor impairment) outweighs the benefit of biopsy in suspected benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours 10,11."
