Abstract
Schwannoma (neurilemmomas) is a peripheral nerve sheath tumor generally occurs on the head, neck and trunk. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are the rarest of all retroperitoneal tumors. We report a 30 year woman with a schwannoma on the retroperitoneum that was preoperatively misdiagnosed as a adnexal mass, with a brief review of the literature.
