Schwannomas are tumors that originate from Schwann cells in the nerve sheath. They most commonly manifest in the head, neck and extremities and rarely can arise from the retroperitoneum. Here, we reported a case of an incidentally detected retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 34-year-old female and discussed the current techniques for diagnosis and treatment methods of schwannomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
