schwanz cells are part of the casing of the nerve. schwanoma would be some sort of growth on the nerve, not really a tumor of the nerve tissue but of the tissue around it. (Do not panic at the word "tumor", btw - it may well be nothing).
The peroneal nerve is a nerve in your lower leg.
Just ask the radiologist when you go for you scans what it all means!
Good luck.

Its a benign tumor of the peroneal nerve. They will do a biopsy and then cut it out.
