Abstract
Schwannomas are encapsulated, benign, slowly growing tumors arising from Schwann cells of peripheral nerve sheath. Although they represent the commonest benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, the occurrence on the lower limbs and especially from the superficial peroneal nerve is exceptionally rare. We present the clinical manifestations and imaging findings of a superficial nerve Schwannoma presenting as a painful mass in the external compartment of the calf, which was confirmed histologically and we correlate our experience with previously reported cases.
