Abstract

A 26-year-old female military officer directly accessed physical therapy, relating a 4-month history of deep, intermittent left medial knee pain with running. Following physical therapy treatment, she was referred to her primary care manager. Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee was ordered, revealing a peripheral nerve sheath tumor with benign features within the distal gracilis attached to the saphenous nerve. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2017;47(2):124. doi:10.2519/jospt.2017.5757.

Keywords: hip; knee; lower extremity; magnetic resonance imaging; schwannoma.
