Popis: Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve sheath tumors that typically occur on the head, neck, trunk, or extremities. Intra-abdominal schwannomas, however, are rare. We describe a young woman who presented for imaging evaluation of suspected nephrolithiasis and was incidentally found to have a schwannoma centered within the pancreatic parenchyma. In addition, we detail the clinical, imaging, and histopathologic features of pancreatic schwannoma and summarize diagnosis and management of this rare clinical entity.
