Simultaneous Right Retroperitoneal Schwannoma and Left Renal Hydatid Cyst

Abstract EN

Retroperitoneal schwannomas are quite rare tumors.

Isolated renal hydatid cyst is also rare, and it forms 2–4% of hydatid disease.

Because of their infrequent occurrence, nonspecific signs and symptoms, and lack of distinguishing radiologic features, we report herein a case of right retroperitoneal mass in a 26-year-old woman which was found to be benign schwannoma following a percutaneous core needle biopsy and a large cortical cyst in the lower pole of the left kidney which was diagnosed as isolated renal hydatid cyst following exploration.
