The clinical diagnosis is usually straightforward, but may be delayed for many years in a schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve. The symptoms are often attributed to entrapment neuropathy or to lumbosacral radiculopathy. <\/jats:p><jats:p> We describe 25 patients with a schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve. Only three were diagnosed within a year of presentation. The mean time to diagnosis was 86.5 months with a median of 48 months (2 to 360). All the patients complained of pain, which was felt specifically in the sole of the foot in 18. A Tinel sign was detected in all 25 patients. MRI confirmed the diagnosis in all the cases in which it had been undertaken. Surgical resection of the lesion abolished the neuropathic pain. In patients with a long history of neuropathic pain in the lower limb in whom lumbar and pelvic lesions have been excluded, a benign tumour of the sheath of a peripheral nerve may explain the symptoms. Surgical resection of the tumour is safe and effective. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620x.89b6.19077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,5]],"date-time":"2007-07-05T04:05:54Z","timestamp":1183608354000},"page":"814-816","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["Schwannoma of the posterior tibial nerve"],"prefix":"10.1302","volume":"89-B","author":[{"given":"D.
