Lower Extremity.—The sciatic nerve below its exit from the pelvisis occasionally the scat of a neuroma, but is more frequently the seatof neuro-sarcoma. Ik-nign tumors may occur in any part of its course,and are occasionally multiple (Fig. 377). The removal of tumors of a benign character from large nerve-trunks calls for special care. Ncrve-rescction is unjustifiable. The con-tinuity of the 7ierve must be preserved. The tumor is exposed by anincision parallel with the nerve; if the tumor is centrally located, themantle of overlying nerve-tissue is incised between the visible bundles NEUROMA. 527 of nerve-fibres, after which t
