Abstract Differential diagnosis of a mass in the popliteal fossa includes a number of pathologies, such as Baker's cyst, extra-articular ganglia cyst, hematoma, proliferation of adipose tissue, aneurysm of the popliteal artery, thrombosed varicose vein, gouty tophi and benign or malignant soft tissue tumors.

Abstract

Abstract Differential diagnosis of a mass in the popliteal fossa includes a number of pathologies, such as Baker's cyst, extra-articular ganglia cyst, hematoma, proliferation of adipose tissue, aneurysm of the popliteal artery, thrombosed varicose vein, gouty tophi and benign or malignant soft tissue tumors. Schwannoma is the most common benign peripheral nerve tumor. However, only a few authors have so far reported on schwannomas located on the common fibular nerve. The aim of this paper is to present contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound elastographic features of a rare case of schwannoma of the common fibular nerve as well as imaging features of a schwannoma of the peripheral nerve. © 2013 Società Italiana di Ultrasonologia in Medicina e Biologia (SIUMB).
