They are rarely seen around the knee, accounting for &lt;1% of all schwannomas, and can mimic other benign swellings such as ganglion cysts or bursae.\n\nCase Report: We report a 32-year-old female who presented with anteromedial right knee pain and a tender swelling for 2 years. Radiographs were normal, and a provisional diagnosis of a ganglion cyst was made. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia through a vertical incision and found to be a well-encapsulated mass measuring approximately 1 \u00d7 1 \u00d7 1 cm, located superficial to the joint capsule. Based on its location, the swelling was suspected to arise from a branch of the saphenous nerve, most likely the infrapatellar branch. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.\n\nConclusion: Schwannomas, though benign and uncommon around the knee, should be included in the differential diagnosis of localized knee pain with soft-tissue swelling and normal radiographs.\n\nKeywords: Anterior knee pain, ganglion cyst, schwannoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i01.6590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]],"date-time":"2026-01-13T04:58:01Z","timestamp":1768280281000},"page":"31-34","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anteromedial Knee Pain Unmasked: Schwannoma of the Infrapatellar Branch of the Saphenous Nerve \u2013 A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Seth G.S.
