Primary nerve sheath tumors in an intrascrotal and extratesticular location are extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)-diagnosed and histologically confirmed case of paratesticular schwannoma in a 32-year-old male. The patient had no evidence of neurofibromatosis and there was a pre-operative cytologic suspicion of leiomyoma as well. A palpable left-sided inguinal lymph node showed features of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. This case is documented to highlight the rarity of paratesticular schwannoma and the role of FNAC in its pre-operative interpretation.
原发性神经鞘瘤位于阴囊内和睾丸外极为罕见，文献中仅报道了少数病例。我们报告一例经细针穿刺抽吸细胞学检查（FNAC）诊断并经组织学证实的32岁男性睾丸旁神经鞘瘤病例。该患者无神经纤维瘤病证据，术前细胞学检查也曾怀疑为平滑肌瘤。可触及的左侧腹股沟淋巴结显示为反应性淋巴样增生。记录此病例以突出睾丸旁神经鞘瘤的罕见性以及FNAC在其术前诊断中的作用。
