Schwannomas are rarely seen in the foot and ankle and mostly arise from the plantar aspect. Dorsal foot schwannomas are not commonly reported. We describe the case of a 25-year-old man who had a painful swelling on the dorsum of his right foot, which resembled a ganglion cyst on clinical examination and ultrasonography findings. Persistent symptoms prompted the need for an excisional biopsy, which revealed a benign schwannoma arising from the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve. Complete and careful excision relieved the symptoms without causing any distal neural deficit. Thus, schwannomas can mimic as a ganglion cyst. Excisional biopsy of such swellings, if symptomatic, helps in confirming the diagnosis, and provides a good functional outcome.
