Neurilemmoma is a rare cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome. We report a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by neurilemmoma of the posterior tibial nerve. A 39-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of tumor and pain in the medial side of the right ankle on August 5, 1995.
He was diagnosed as tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by tumor and was operated on August 26, 1995. Tumor was excised and pathological findings confirmed a neurilemmoma. After the operation, the patient's sensory disturbance and pain disappeared.
