Schwannoma of the penis is extremely rare. This is the case of a young male who presented with pain on sexual intercourse, multiple lumps on the dorsal shaft of his penis, as well as a temporal headache. He was subsequently diagnosed with schwannoma affecting both his penile region and cauda equina. This clinical finding has not been previously described in the literature. Hence, its presentation is unique to our specialty.
