10 Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #9: Tumors
Every now and then we might find a lump or bump where there shouldn’t be one. These could well be tumors, which are abnormal growths of tissue in the body. Some tumors can be malignant so finding one can be a cause for alarm, although many tumors are really quite harmless to us.
Regardless of whether a tumor is malignant, it can cause various complications in the body. If the mass grows too large, it can begin to affect the other tissues and organs surrounding it. For example, if a tumor grows large enough near the peripheral nerve, the result can be peripheral neuropathy.
