title: Benign solitary schwannoma of the foot. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Benign solitary schwannomas of the foot are a rare occurrence; only four cases have been previously reported. A schwannoma associated with the medial plantar nerve present for more than 40 years before the onset of symptoms was diagnosed in a 73-year-old man. Excision of the mass, with preservation of the involved nerve, was possible and successfully relieved symptoms.
