Schwannomas are non-malignant tumors that develop from Schwann cells, and their incidence in the hand and fingers is relatively low. Specifically, the manifestation of these tumors in the ulnar digital nerve of the ring finger is exceedingly rare. This report details the case of a 35-year-old male diagnosed with a schwannoma located in the ulnar digital nerve of the right ring finger by outlines the clinical features, imaging attributes, surgical treatment approaches, and histopathological findings.This case highlights the necessity of including schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of slowly enlarging, painful digital masses and explains the surgical approach to treat this condition while preserving nerve functionality.
