Schwannomas are benign tumors affecting the nerve sheath. Their presence in the subperiosteal region is extremely rare. We report a case of a 66-year-old male patient with a 10-year history of unexplained pain of the anterior leg that turned out to be caused by a subperiosteal schwannoma of the mid-tibia. We believe this case report will increase surgeons' index of suspicion about this condition when dealing with cases of unexplained bony pain, consequently allowing for early diagnosis and better outcomes.
施万细胞瘤是一种影响神经鞘的良性肿瘤。它们出现在骨膜下区域极为罕见。我们报告一例66岁男性患者，有10年不明原因的小腿前部疼痛病史，结果发现是由胫骨中部的骨膜下施万细胞瘤引起的。我们相信，本病例报告将提高外科医生在处理不明原因骨痛病例时对这种疾病的怀疑指数，从而实现早期诊断并取得更好的治疗效果。
