This case report illustrates the role of high‐resolution sonography in the preoperative assessment of a neurilemmoma of the median nerve in the forearm. Sonography identified the 3‐dimensional localization of the nerve tumor its origin from a nerve fascicle, and its relationship with noninvolved nerve fascicles, facilitating the surgeor's approach to preserve noninvolved fascicles. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
