Abstract
A neurilemmoma is a benign peripheral nerve tumor that may manifest clinical as paresthesias and numbness/tingling along the potentially affected nerve. Cutaneous manifestations especially without any associated neurologic symptoms are rare and to our knowledge, has not been reported in the literature. This is a case study of a 62-year old female who presented to the office with a relatively benign soft tissue lesion on her right foot. She underwent a local punch biopsy and subsequently the pathology report revealed a tumor consistent with a neurilemmoma. This is a simple case report that demonstrates a relatively benign presentation with an unusual diagnosis.
