Management of Retroperitoneal Schwannoma: Case Reports and Review of the Literature

Schwannoma is a rare slow-growing neurogenic tumor of the nerve sheath origin. They are commonly seen in middle-aged with a female to male ratio of 1:1.2. Here we present three cases of retroperitoneal schwannoma in our urology department. In two cases, we decided surgery management and in one case, we used watchful waiting. After a 3-year follow-up, case 1 was asymptomatic without changes in the lesion. World J Nephrol Urol. 2016;5(3):58-62 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/wjnu277w
