    Rare peripheral nerve lesions are an infrequent and diverse group of conditions, including benign and malignant tumors, and non-neoplastic entities, posing significant diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their rarity and varied clinical presentations. This study presents 8 cases of surgically treated rare peripheral nerve lesions with previously unreported long-term outcomes involving quality of life (QOL) assessment. Each case demonstrates unique challenges and outcomes, highlighting the importance of individualized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The findings underscore the necessity for further research to develop consensus guidelines for the management of these rare conditions and improve patient outcomes. This study aims to contribute to the limited literature on long-term outcomes and QOL in patients with rare peripheral nerve lesions.
