Because ultrasonography is easy to perform, cheap, and readily available to physicians during a routine consultation, it is the first choice of modality for the evaluation of calf pain. However, simple inflammation around the nerve should also be considered as a possible etiology. Here we describe a 35\u2010year\u2010old man with chronic pain in the right calf that was actually caused by fibroma\u2010induced chronic inflammation around the tibial and peroneal nerves but misdiagnosed as centralized neuropathic pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patient presented with chronic pain and a tingling sensation in the right calf. He had a slowly growing tibial nerve neurilemmoma that was excised at 28\u00a0years of age; however, the pain and tingling sensation persisted. He visited several hospitals for 7\u00a0years and was misdiagnosed with peripheral nerve injury\u2013induced neuropathic pain. At 35\u00a0years of age, he visited our hospital for further evaluation. Ultrasonography revealed a mass in the popliteal region, which was excised and confirmed to be a fibroma via histopathological analysis. Severe inflammation was observed in the operative field. His symptoms finally ameliorated after this surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings from this case suggest that ultrasonography should be used as the primary modality\u00a0for the evaluation of calf pain. Although the features of\u00a0unresolved calf pain are similar to those of neuropathic\u00a0pain, more curable etiologies should be considered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.12676","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,29]],"date-time":"2017-12-29T00:19:01Z","timestamp":1514506741000},"page":"810-813","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chronic Calf Pain Caused by Fibroma\u2010Induced Chronic Inflammation Around the Tibial and Peroneal Nerves that Was Misdiagnosed as Centralized Neuropathic Pain: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Jiyoung","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seong\u2010Ho","family":"Ok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences School of Medicine Gyeongsang National University Jinju South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeong Yeol","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miyeong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eun Hui","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3364-4307","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeon A","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital Changwon Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences School of Medicine Gyeongsang National University Jinju South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinimag.2015.09.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.179.3.1790709"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2005.102.2.0246"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.89B6.19077"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2016.12.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2016-215620"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foot.2008.05.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3344\/kjp.2012.25.4.275"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4612-1938-5_18"}],"container-title":["Pain Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fpapr.12676","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/papr.12676","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,17]],"date-time":"2023-09-17T10:31:59Z","timestamp":1694946719000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/papr.12676"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/papr.12676"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/papr.12676","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1530-7085","1533-2500"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1530-7085"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1533-2500"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]]}}}
