Large Forefoot Schwannoma: A Case Report / 대한족부족관절학회지

ABSTRACT

A schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor derived from Schwann cells. A rare case of a large painful schwannoma in the foot with metatarsal deformity was presented. Due to suspicion of malignancy, amputation had been recommended previously. We report on a rare case of a large forefoot schwannoma causing pain and paresthesia of the forefoot.
