Cutaneous schwannoma of the foot.
Schwannomas usually present as solitary subcutaneous tumors adherent to a peripheral nerve. A solitary cutaneous schwannoma presenting as a solitary cutaneous nodule on the foot of a 19-year-old male is described. This is an unusual presentation of schwannoma. Saucerized excision produced an excellent result with no adverse effect on function or cutaneous sensation.
