A case of intrascrotal extratesticular schwannoma

Abstract

Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells, which compose the myelin sheath covering peripheral nerves. Although schwannomas can develop in various locations throughout the human body, the scrotum is a rare site for development of a schwannoma. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has focused on the detailed imaging findings of intrascrotal schwannoma.
