Abstract
|
|
|
|
Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor that involves Schwann cells mostly found in the head, neck, posterior mediastinum and extremities. Schwannoma develops rarely in the retroperitoneum; thus, renal schwannoma is extremely uncommon. Differentiation of renal schwannoma from renal cell carcinoma is difficult with radiologic analysis. A few cases of these tumors have been reported in literature, and little has been described regarding imaging appearances. In this study, we present a rare case of a renal schwannoma, resembling renal cell carcinoma, with radiological correlations.
