[Schwannoma of the gallbladder].
Schwanomas of the biliary tract are very rare with about 55 reported cases. Schwanomas of the gallbladder are the rarest, probably with less then ten reported cases. We reported a 61 old woman in whom we did a cholecystectomy for a tumor of gallbladder 6.5 x 9 cm in diameter with a central softness which showed a histologic appearance of schwanoma. Ten years after surgery the patient is symptom-free and with no signs of recurrency.
