Benign retroperitoneal schwannoma
Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a rare, predominantly benign tumor. Diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal schwannoma remains the complex problem. The difficulty of diagnostics is caused by the latent course of a disease and anatomic features of retroperitoneal space. Radical removal of the tumor is the only treatment for retroperitoneal schwannoma. The paper presents a clinical case of surgical treatment of benign retroperitoneal schwannoma and brief review of the literature on this issue.
