A case of neurilemoma between the third and fourth metatarsal bones of the left foot is presented. The tumor mass produced a deformity in the adjacent metatarsal bones. Removal of the tumor led to remodeling of the bones as seen in a follow-up roentgenogram made three and one-half years after operation.
