Popis: A 48-year-old man presented with a painless nodule on the right ventral aspect of the penile shaft root. The patient visited the hospital and complained that the mass was growing. On physical examinations, a 5 cm mass without tenderness was palpated. An isoechoic mass about 4 cm in size was observed on ultrasonography. Inhomogeneous high signal intensity was observed on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. A needle biopsy revealed schwannoma. During surgery for excision of the tumor, another small tumor was detected both tumors were resected. Both tumors were diagnosed as schwannoma by pathological examination. Out of 40 cases of penile schwannoma reported, eight were of multiple tumors. In our case, it was difficult to detect the other small tumor by preoperative diagnosis. Therefore, we recommend careful observation during surgery.
