title: [Bifocal schwannoma of the sciatic nerve: a case report].
abstract: Schwannoma is a benign tumor generally observed on peripheral nerves. A sciatic localization is rare, observed in 1% of the patients. Multiple localizations have been reported in exceptional cases. We report the case of a bifocal schwannoma observed at the bifurcation of the sciatic nerve in a high-level athlete. The misleading clinical presentation of this localization causes a delay in diagnosis.
