Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated soft-tissue tumors that rarely present to the foot and ankle. These tumors are usually asymptomatic unless an increase in size or disruption of the nerve causes pain. We report a case of a painful mass along the lateral plantar nerve near the fourth metatarsal base that was surgically excised and confirmed as a benign schwannoma by means of histopathologic analysis. At the final follow-up of over 2 years, the patient reported no pain, neurologic deficits, or signs of recurrence. This case demonstrates an unusual location of a schwannoma arising from the lateral plantar nerve.
