Résumé
Schwannoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that appears like a neuroma based on its specific location and clinical features. We report a case of a plexiform schwannoma in a middle-aged woman who had a painful bump located in the third webspace on the dorsum of her right foot for the last four years. Initially, the swelling was thought to be Morton's neuroma based on location and clinical feature findings. The mass was resected and was sent for histopathological examination, revealing a plexiform schwannoma, most likely developing from the cutaneous nerves on the dorsum of the foot. She reported improvement in her symptoms after complete and careful excision without any neurological deficit. Investigation of any subcutaneous foot swelling should be coupled with a histopathological examination for comprehensive management.
