Femoral nerve schwannoma

Objective: The authors report a case of femoral nerve schwannoma by MR imaging findings. Case: A patient presenting with right inguinofemoral pain and swelling was submitted to a Gadolinium-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): a schwannoma arising from the femoral nerve in the right inguinofemoral area was disclosed. She  underwent microsurgical procedure, with total removal of the lesion. Postoperatively, the inguinofemoral pain and swelling disappeared, with complete relief of symptoms. Conclusion: The authors stress that femoral nerve schwannoma in the inguinofemoral place should be considered according to MRI findings.
