Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Neuropathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Schwannomas are typically benign nerve sheath tumors.
  • Sural nerve schwannomas are rare, particularly in the lower limb.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old female presented with lateral ankle and foot pain.
  • Clinical examination revealed a painful mass adjacent to the sural nerve.
  • Imaging studies supported the presence of a nerve sheath tumor.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision confirmed the mass as a schwannoma of the sural nerve.
  • Histopathological analysis verified the benign nature of the tumor.
  • This case highlights a less common presentation of schwannoma.

Implications:

  • This case report contributes to understanding schwannoma presentation in the lower extremity.
  • It emphasizes the importance of considering nerve sheath tumors in patients with persistent localized pain.
  • Optimal surgical technique and follow-up are recommended for managing sural nerve schwannomas.
