Abstract
An unusual case of solitary benign schwannoma of the foot is presented. Clinical exam, MRI, and intra operative findings all confirm suspicion of a ganglion cyst. After attempt aspiration failed to produce any aspirate, excisional biopsy was performed. Pathology report confirms schwannoma with H&E stain, and subsequently reaffirmed with positive S-100 protein stain. Even though schwannoma of the foot had been reported in literature, this was an unusual case as the lesion was presented as a superficial, ganglion cyst like lesion on the bottom of the foot.
