Cervical radiculopathy and peripheral nerve pathology often compete in the differential diagnosis of extremity pain, weakness, and numbness, and frequently, coexist. In this report, we describe a 73-year-old male with a previously asymptomatic left anteromedial proximal upper arm mass, who presented with progressive radicular arm pain, proximal and distal upper extremity weakness, and hand numbness. Clinical investigation revealed a prominent C6-7 disc herniation and a median nerve sheath tumor, with electromyography (EMG)/nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies suggestive of acute radiculopathy. He was treated in a staged surgical fashion, with the nerve sheath tumor resection first, followed by a standard C6-7 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) two weeks later. The patient made a full recovery. We provide a literature review and discussion of the “double crush” hypothesis.
