title: Retroperitoneal schwannoma.
abstract: Retroperitoneal schwannomas are rare tumors and a correct pre-operative diagnosis is often not possible. They are usually identified incidentally via cross-sectional imaging. Diagnosis is based on histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry. A 57-year-old man with a retroperitoneal schwannoma, as an unusual localisation, is presented.
