Abstract
Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from the peripheral nerve sheath. Neurogenic tumors of bone are extremely uncommon and they compose less than 1% of all benign tumors [1]. We present a case of intraosseous schwannoma in a 15 year old girl who presented with pain and pathological fracture of tibia. The radiology revealed an expansile and lytic lesion in the diaphysis. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of intraosseous schwannoma. The tumor cells were immunoreactive for S100protein. We present this case as tibial schwannoma is extremely rare and its diaphyseal location in the bone is virtually unknown.
