A rare case of concurrent penile and spinal schwannomas

Schwannoma of the penis is extremely rare. This is the case of a young male who presented with pain on sexual intercourse, multiple lumps on the dorsal shaft of his penis, as well as a temporal headache. He was subsequently diagnosed with schwannoma affecting both his penile region and cauda equina. This clinical finding has not been previously described in the literature. Hence, its presentation is unique to our specialty.

“…[ 1 ] They are most commonly located on the head, neck, or flexor surfaces of upper and lower extremities. [ 1 2 ] About 90% of schwannomas are sporadic, but they can also be associated with multiple meningiomas, neurofibromatosis 2, and schwannomatosis. [ 3 ]…”

Le Schwannome, ou neurinome, du pénis est une tumeur extrêmement rare. Il s'agit d'une tumeur de la gaine des nerfs péniens. Un homme de 29 ans opéré pour un neurinome du pénis. La tumeur fut réséquée avec succès tout en préservant la fonction érectile du patient. La résection tumorale est le traitement de choix dans les schwannomes localisés, un suivi régulier est conseillé. Le taux de récidive locale est extrêmement faible après résection complète. A travers cet article, nous allons présenter un nouveau cas de neurinome du pénis et nous allons faire une brève revue de la littérature sur cette pathologie rare.

“…[8] Angiomatous tumors are soft and often painful, they can be distinguished from schwannoma in imaging studies. [15] The clinical presentation of epithelioid sarcoma includes penile nodularity or mass, urethral stenosis, penile curvature, dysuria and pain during erection. [13] In contrast to Peyronie's disease that usually is localized at the tunica albuginea, epithelioid sarcoma shows infiltrating lesions of the corpora cavernosa, and the young age is a risk factor for epithelioid sarcoma that occurred mostly in men under 40 years.…”

Schwannomas originate from the neural sheaths of peripheral nerves, and are frequent in the head, neck, extremities, mediastinum, and retroperitoneum. In spite of the rich innervations of the external genitalia, schwannomas are rare in the penis. We reported a case of penile schwannoma with clinical presentation and management. A sexually active 28-year-old man presented with a painless, slowly growing, nodular mass on the dorsum of penile shaft of at least 2 years' duration. A nodular fixed mass about 4.0 cm in length was palpated on the dorsal aspect of the proximal penile shaft. Preoperative diagnosis was made with ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. The mass was completely removed with preserving dorsal penile neurovasculature. Pathologic examination of the mass showed a benign schwannoma. No erectile dysfunction and penile curvature were observed over the six months after the surgery. Schwannoma of the penis is a rare benign tumor that can be diagnosed with the help of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. It should be treated by complete resection. Erectile function can be preserved by preserving dorsal penile neurovasculature.
