Spinal Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors and the most common intradural extramedullary tumors of the spine, mainly occurring in the cervical and lumbar region. The location distinct from the spinal canal is very rare. We report a rare case of a 45year old male with Schwannoma in the dorsal paraspinal musculature. Complete surgical excision of the lesion was performed with clear margins and neuropathological analysis revealed a Schwannoma. There has been no recurrence after 6 months.
