Abstrakt: Objective: To present a rare site of schwannoma and review the literature.
Methods/results: A case of a young male patient who consulted for removal of a penile lipoma is presented. The small, regular, well-circumscribed tumor localized under Buck's fascia on the dorsal penile aspect was excised. The anatomopathological analysis showed a schwannoma.
Conclusion: A review of the literature showed schwannoma of the penis to be very uncommon. For this reason, we were prompted to report this case.
