Schwannoma is a tumor derived from the Schwann cell of the peripheral nerve sheath and frequently occurs in the head, neck, or extremities. Schwannoma is extremely rare in the kidney, which has nonspecific symptoms and limited radiologic features, and is often diagnosed histologically after surgery. In this study, we report a case of a left renal schwannoma which was misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma and confirmed after the surgical removal of the affected kidney.
