Schwannoma of the plantarmedial aspect of the foot: A case report

A rare case of plexiform schwannoma on the foot

“…7 Imaging particularly, MRI can be helpful in diagnosis and localization of the lesion before the treatment; however, the diagnosis cannot be confirmed without histopathological studies. 8 From the histopathological view, various nodules which locate intradermally or subcutaneously consist of cellular Antoni A, in which areas with both nuclear palisading and verocay bodies are detected. In contrast to schwannomas, plexiform schwannomas develop in a plexiform configuration including various interconnecting nodules and fascicles in Antoni A areas.…”

“…Clinically, this tumor often develops as a solitary subcutaneous or intradermal nodule and grows in a small size, the greatest diameter of which is mostly lower than 2 cm 7 .

A Rare Case Report on Neurilemmoma of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve and a Review of the Literature

“…Additional diagnostic techniques, such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS), measure neuromuscular function to determine if there is denervation, motor unit preservation, or conduction loss. Although neurilemmoma is a rare condition, it has been diagnosed in a variety of locations in the body including the brachial plexus as reported by Lee et al, and it can also affect the legs, ankles, or feet in rare cases [ 4 - 6 ].…”
