Retroperitoneal ancient schwannoma: case report and analysis of clinico-radiological findings.
Ancient schwannoma is a rare subtype of typical schwannoma, with histological predominance of degenerative findings. We report the second case of retroperitoneal ancient schwannoma (occurred in a 45-year-old female referred to our institution for an unremitting right lumbar pain) and pinpoint clinical, radiological, prognosis and therapeutic aspects of this tumor.
