ABSTRACT

Schwannomas are usually benign encapsulated tumors that commonly arises from cranial, spinal and peripheral nerves, mostly effecting the head and neck region along the nerve sheath. Although schwannoma is the most common peripheral nerve sheath tumor, it is extremely rare in Para testicular region. This is a case of 53-year-old male with left scrotal non tender swelling; there is no regional lymphadenopathy and no regional skin involvement. USG revealed a well encapsulated heterogeneously echogenic extra testicular lesion in left testis. MRI revealed a left para-testicular well encapsulated lobulated T1 isointense, T2 heterogeneous appearing mass measuring 5.2x5x5.3cm (APXTSXCC) in the scrotum. Surgical excision was done involving left inguinal orchidectomy with spermatic cord. Histopathological analysis of the specimen confirms the diagnosis of schwannoma.
