Schwannomas are benign neoplasms originating from Schwann cells (1). “It is a soft tissue tumor that rarely presents in the foot (2,3), but in some cases, symptoms typically result from the mass effect and direct involvement of the nerve and surrounding tissue” (1,4). The recommended surgical treatment is tumor Enucleation (1,5–8). We present a case of a 23-year-old man who had recurrent multiple schwannomas of the left foot that were successfully treated with enucleation. The most prevalent benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath are schwannomas. The recurrence rate after enucleation is around 1.3% to 35.9% in the literature (1,4,25,26). We present a case of recurrent multiple schwannomas in the left foot that were effectively treated with enucleation. Meticulous dissection and complete enucleation are key to decreasing postoperative recurrence and reducing complications.
