ARTICLE Ancient Schwannoma of Abdominal Wall: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Schwannomas are mostly asymptomatic benign tumors originating from peripheral or cranial nerve sheath cells. They are rare and slow-growing tumors that may present with compression-related symptoms such as a palpable mass or incidentaloma. Schwannoma, which is frequently located on the flexor surfaces of the head, neck, and extremities, is usually diagnosed by radiological and pathognomonic microscopic and immunohistochemistry features. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with a palpable mass on the lateral abdominal wall.
