Neurilemmoma is a benign neurogenic tumour arising from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath, which is commonly seen in women in the 5th decade. It rarely arises in the retroperitoneum, being more common in the head and neck region and extremities. Ancient variety of schwannoma is a long-standing tumour, is seen in the middle age and elderly age groups, and is associated with secondary degenerative changes. Herein, we report a case of benign retroperitoneal paravertebral ancient neurilemmoma occurring in a young male adult.
神经鞘瘤是一种起源于周围神经鞘雪旺细胞的良性神经源性肿瘤,常见于50岁左右的女性。它很少发生于腹膜后,在头颈部和四肢更为常见。古老型雪旺瘤是一种长期存在的肿瘤,见于中年和老年人群,且伴有继发性退行性改变。在此,我们报告一例发生于年轻男性成人的良性腹膜后椎旁古老型神经鞘瘤。
