Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (PNSTs) are extremely uncommon and it is almost certain that no individual upper limb surgeon will gain great experience in a lifetime with these lesions. Benign and malignant PNSTs are separately analyzed in this descriptive review and discussed focusing the attention towards the most important features. A comprehensive and summarized overview of this topic is offered to the reader in order to improve the complex management of these tumors from diagnosis to treatment. A systematic search in PubMed was carried out using the keywords (and synonyms) written below in order to find relevant and most cited papers. Reckoning the rarity of the pathology, few selected case reports were taken into account. A compendium of each PNST was created to sum up the personal experience of the Authors who wrote the articles, critically inspected and analyzed. Every section of the paper is meant to provide useful tips to the reader.
