Abstrakt: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors known as neurofibromas are benign and can be a part of syndromes like neurofibromatosis Type-1 (NF1) or type-2. NF1 is linked to plexiform neurofibroma. They are primarily made up of fibroblasts and Schwann cells. It can involve any nerve. In our case, a branch of the superficial peroneal nerve gave rise to neurofibroma, which extrinsically compressed the deep peroneal nerve. The patient's symptoms resembled those of anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
