Abstract

Schwannoma is a most common type of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor in adults. Plexiform schwannoma [PS] are relatively rare with reported incidence of only 5%. Skin and soft tissues are primarily involved structure. It is rare to find them on the digits. We report a case of expansile swelling on the digit. The definitive diagnosis was revealed only after exision biopsy. Schwannoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of any swelling arising from the digits.
