Penile schwannoma- case report & review of literature
Journal Title: Pathology Update: Tropical Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Schwannomas of the penis are extremely rare. Only very few cases were reported previously in English-language literature. We are presenting a case of a 62-year-old man with a 3 x 2 cm, slowly growing, painless tumor on the dorsal penile shaft without any other symptoms. Histopathological examination of the excised tumor revealed benign schwannoma and diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry S-100 protein. We also reviewed previously published articles on penile schwannoma to get a comprehensive picture.
