“…Despite the low rate of malignant transformation, bladder neurofibromas can mimic the characteristics of some other malignant tumors. A differential diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, ganglioneuroma and paraganglioma should always be well thought‐out in cases of solitary lesions 19 . As a result, malignancy either as a differential diagnosis or a transformative process of the existing neurofibroma should always be considered.…”

Primary bladder schwannoma is an extremely rare bladder tumor that originates from Schwann cells in the nerve sheath and often associated with von Reichnhausen's disease. Isolated cases of urinary bladder schwannoma are incredibly rare with no more than 1/1,000 of bladder tumours. We report a 33-year-old female patient who did not have any symptoms and was found by computed tomography (CT). Preoperative cystoscopy revealed a large sessile and smooth-surfaced mass on the anterior top of the bladder. Then she was successfully managed by partial cystectomy. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed the mass was schwannoma. She was discharged 16 days after admission. In addition, she was followed up without intravesical recurrence or metastases for 29 months. Subsequently, literatures in PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) accessed to bladder schwannoma since 1993 are searched and reviewed, more clinical data are provided to better assist in the diagnosis and treatment. In summary, bladder schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of the urinary system. Imaging examination and cystoscopy have a hint on the disease to a certain extent. The first choice of treatment is surgical resection, pathology is the gold standard and S-100 is usually positive. On account of the possibility of malignant transformation of the disease, Long-term follow-up is necessary.

“… 1 Neurofibromas of the genito-urinary tract most commonly affect males than females by a ratio of 3:1, and commonly affect the bladder, but there are also reports of neurofibromas involving the penis, clitoris, prostate, urethra, testis, spermatic cord and ureter. 2 We report a case of primary isolated schwannoma of the urinary bladder in a patient without von Recklinghausen disease.…”
