Retroperitoneal Schwannoma: a common tumor at an uncommon site
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Schwannomas are slow growing solitary neural sheath tumors found in peripheral nerves in the limbs, head, and neck. Most schwannomas are benign, although malignant cases are known to occur. We report a benign schwannoma, at an unusual location in retroperitoneum in a middle aged female.
