Abstract

Schwannoma which originated from Schwann cells is a nerve sheath tumour. Schwannomas of the urogenital tract are very rare. We present a case of a juxtadrenal schwannoma in a 66 years old female patient. To date only three juxtadrenal schwannoma cases have been described in the literature.
