title: Laparoscopic resection of schwannoma in the anomaly of obturator nerve.
abstract: Most retroperitoneal schwannomas are benign tumors originating from schwann cells and are relatively rare, especially schwannomas arising in the obturator nerve. In this paper, we describe a 44-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal schwannoma in the anomaly of the obturator nerve, which was treated by laparoscopy without any complications.
