✦ Synopsis

Two patients with plantar foot pain, one mistakenly thought to have tarsal tunnel syndrome, had complete resolution of pain after resection of a sciatic nerve schwannoma of the midthigh. The entire extent of the sciatic nerve should be evaluated in patients presenting with unilateral, neuropathic foot pain.
