title: Neurilemmoma of the posterior tibial nerve with an uncommon case presentation.
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.
