Isolated penile schwannoma: A rare case report

Abstract

Schwannoma is a benign nerve tumor composed of cells of the schwann nerve sheath. Only about twenty cases have been reported in the literature to our knowledge.We report an isolated case of schwannoma of the penis in a 56-year-old man who presented a nodule of the penis in the balanopreputial groove that had been progressively increasing in size for three years. Anatomopathological and immunohistochemical criteria allowed for a positive diagnosis. Treatment consisted of surgical excision followed by rigorous surveillance.
