Schwannomas of the foot are rare. We describe three cases that mimicked compressive neuropathy, two resembling tarsal tunnel syndrome and a third resembling Morton’s neuroma. All three patients had complete resolution of their pain after resection of the tumor. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 96(4): 344–347, 2006)
