Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that are seen either sporadically or in patients of neurofibromatosis. This tumor is common in head, neck, and extremities. Penis is a rare site for this tumor. To the very best of our knowledge, <34 cases of penile schwannoma have been reported in literature till now, but none had presented as scrotal mass. Here, we report a case of penile schwannoma in a 16-year-old male boy who presented in our outpatient department with a slowly growing scrotal mass. Our patient did not have any other feature of neurofibromatosis. The patient after investigation underwent surgical excision and had no recurrence on follow-up of 5 years.
施万细胞瘤是一种良性神经鞘瘤,可散发性出现,也可见于神经纤维瘤病患者。这种肿瘤常见于头、颈和四肢。阴茎是该肿瘤的罕见发病部位。据我们所知,迄今为止文献中报道的阴茎施万细胞瘤病例不足34例,但均未表现为阴囊肿物。在此,我们报告一例16岁男性阴茎施万细胞瘤病例,该患者因阴囊肿物缓慢增大前来我院门诊就诊。我们的患者没有神经纤维瘤病的任何其他特征。该患者经检查后接受了手术切除,随访5年无复发。
