    Author: Zivot ML, Pitzer S, Pantig-Felix L, Nathan LE.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1990; 29(2):130-4. PubMed ID: 2187028.
    Abstract:
    Malignant schwannoma in the foot is extremely rare. The authors present a case involving the medial plantar branch of the posterior tibial nerve in a patient with neurofibromatosis, without previous history of malignant degeneration. Following full excisional biopsy, the diagnosis was made using immunohistochemical studies and electron microscopy. A review of the literature also is presented.
