We report a case of 35 year old male with complaints of swelling in posterior aspect of left thigh since 9 years and pain in left lower limb since 2 months. MRI showed two well defined discrete lesions in relation to left sciatic nerve suggestive of neurogenic tumor. Postoperatively patient recovered well with no pain or neurological deficit.
