Neurilemmoma of the posterior tibial nerve with an uncommon case presentation

J Foot Surg. 1992 May-Jun;31(3):219-24.

Abstract

A neurilemoma presenting in the foot is uncommon. The tumor is a solitary benign type that does not require transection of the involved nerve. A clinical review with an uncommon presentation and brief history of a benign neurilemoma is presented, followed by a discussion using magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonification, double contrast doppler, arteriograms and venograms to aid in a differential diagnosis.
