Unlabelled: Schwannomatosis has been recently recognized as the third major type of neurofibromatosis. It causes multiple schwannomas without the vestibular tumors that are diagnostic of neurofibromatosis type 2. Schwannoma is rarely found in the foot, and it is still rarer to find multiple schawannomas in a single peripheral nerve on the foot. In this article, we describe a case of schwannomatosis case on a single foot.
