Schwannoma in the retroperitoneal space is rare, and it is extremely rare in patients with no history of neurofibromatosis. We present a case of giant retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 52-year-old man who did not have neurofibromatosis. Because malignant transformation would be extremely rare in this circumstance, close imaging follow-up could avert the necessity for complete resection. The possibility of schwannoma should be considered when evaluating retroperitoneal tumors with the characteristic findings, even if there is no connection between the tumor and the intervertebral foramina. Keywords: Retroperitoneal tumor, Schwannoma, Open biopsy, CT, MRI, Malignancy |
