title: [Plexiform testicular schwannoma. Rare differential diagnosis of a testicular tumor].
abstract: In this report we describe the case of a testicular schwannoma in a human. Histologically, the tumor presented as a plexiform schwannoma. This rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor is an uncommon nodular variant of schwannoma, which mimics plexiform neurofibroma by its multinodular growth.
