| Abstract: | Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells of peripheral and cranial nerves mostly occurring in female patients 20-50 years of age. It is rare to find schwannoma in retroperitoneum. They are difficult to diagnose at this site unless they cause compression symptoms. They are also sometimes diagnosed incidentally during surgery. We here present a case of a 59 year old female who presented with 5 year history of epigastric pain which was associated with post prandial vomiting and constipation. A retroperitoneal cystic mass in the vicinity of right adrenal gland was found on radiology. Excision of the mass was done and sent for histopathology in the Department of Pathology, Lahore Medical & Dental College,Lahore. The received specimen comprised of a fragmented cystic biopsy. Histological examination revealed a spindle cell neoplasm comprising round to spindle cells arranged in hypocellular and hypercellular areas and negligible mitotic activity. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong positive S100 protein in the spindle cells which is a distinct immunohistochemical marker for schwannoma. Schwannoma in retroperitoneum is a rare occurance. It is important to differentiate it from the malignant counterparts which are more common in this location and require more extensive surgery and treatment. |
