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.
