Giant schwannomas in the foot and ankle region are extremely rare. This is a case report of a giant schwannoma arising from the superficial peroneal nerve in the dorsolateral aspect of the foot, which was completely excised and confirmed by histopathology.
Schwannoma is a benign tumour of Schwann cells originating from myelin sheath of axons of the nerves. It is usually seen in the vestibular region, very rarely found in extremity regions. Schwannomas are termed 'Giant' when they measure more than five centimetres in a minimum of one dimension. Giant schwannomas in the foot and ankle region are extremely uncommon. Only eight cases of such a condition are reported. This is a case report of a giant schwannoma found arising from the superficial peroneal nerve in the dorsolateral aspect of the foot. This swelling was excised completely and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology.
