Introduction.
Schwannomas are quiet rare in the retroperitoneal region.
Here, we describe an incidentally detected retroperitoneal schwannoma in the abdominal computerized tomography (CT) of a patient with acute appendicitis.
Case Presentation.
A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency service with the complaints of progressive abdominal pain and nausea for the last 24 hours.
Abdominal examination was compatible with acute abdomen.
Acute appendicitis was diagnosed by CT.
During CT evaluation, a round shaped soft-tissue mass at the retroperitoneal area inferior to the right kidney was detected, The mass was resected and histology revealed schwannoma.
Conclusion.
Rare tumoral lesions with benign course such as schwannoma can be detected incidentally.
