Schwannoma of the prostate: ultrasonographic features.
A noteworthy case of a benign schwannoma of the prostate in a 65-year-old man not in connection with genetic neurofibromatoses is reported. A 12-mm nodular hypoechoic lesion in the peripheral gland was seen at transrectal ultrasound, but diagnosis could be achieved only by transrectal echo-guided biopsy.
