ABSTRACT

Retroperitoneal tumors are relatively rare and tend to be classified according to the tissue in which they arise. Of the nerve sheath tumors, schwannomas have a 1 to 10% prevalence among total retroperitoneal primary neoplasms and a 0.2 to 0.6% prevalence among all neoplasms. Two cases of intrarenal schwannomas that were incidentally diagnosed after performing radical nephrectomy are presented.
