Abstract
Benign schwannomas are the most common nerve tumors. These tumors occur with predilection in the adult of 20 to 50 years, and always indifferently the man and the woman. The time of appearance of the first signs is usually long. Magnetic resonance imaging can guide the diagnosis, but it is histology that confirms it. The treatment is essentially based on surgical enucleation. Evolution is generally favorable. We report a rare case of schwanoma developed on the anterior side of the leg.
