Abstract
|
|
|
|
Schwannoma is a common peripheral nerve tumor that mainly occur at head and neck, flexor muscle of upper, and lower extrimity. In posterior tibial nerve schwannoma, diagnosis is difficult, since physicians often consider achilles tendinitis, posterior impingement syndrome, retrocalcaneal bursitis, or injury of the flexor tendons, as the primary cause in patients with posterior ankle pain. Ultrasonogram may be a simple tool to differentiate such various diseases. The authors report a case of posterior tibial nerve schwannoma diagnosed with ultrasonogram, which was initially misunderstood as achilles tendinitis.
