Title: Solitary malignant schwannoma of the lower extremity - a case report.
Authors: Ogata, H.; Sawada, Y.; Narita, T.; Nomura, K.; Akita, N.
Abstract: 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.
