| Notes: |
A case of solitary malignant schwannoma, appearing as a painless mass near the right ankle of a 46-year-old female, is presented. Solitary malignant schwannoma without neurofibromatosis is considered to be quite rare. However, this disorder has a better prognosis than neurofibromatosis. Previous reports indicate that the treatment usually chosen is wide local excision without lymph node dissection. unless clinically involved nodes are present.
