A rare case of schwannomatosis of the extremities

Abstract

A schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the myelin-producing Schwann cells that surround nerves. We herein report a case involving a 55-year-old man who first presented to our clinic with a schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve and 5 years later with a schwannoma of the ulnar nerve. This is the first report of schwannomatosis of the ulnar and posterior tibial nerves.
