Abstract:
The neurilemoma is a benign neoplasm of Schwann's cells arising from the sheath of a nerve. This neoplasm most commonly originates from the flexor surface of the body. An unusual presentation of a neurilemoma on the extensor surface of the foot was described. The treatment plan was explained, and pathologic characteristics were outlined. Trauma as a possible etiology was also described.
