Morton's neuromas are benign lesions of the inter-digital nerves within the foot. They are most commonly found in the second and third webspace. Morton's neuroma of the first webspace is very rare. A case of a 42-year-old female who presented complaining of long standing forefoot pain is presented. The patient was diagnosed with a soft tissue tumor in the 1st webspace. An excisional biopsy of the tumour confirmed a Morton's neuroma. Very few cases of Morton's neuroma in the first webspace have been reported in the literature.
