Abstract:
Retmperitoneal neurilemmoma are exceedingly rare and difficult to diagnose both pre- and post- operatively. The vast majority arise in cranial nerve, with occasional occurrence in nerve of extremity, and only rare presentation in retroperitoneum. We report here a case of retroperitoneal neurilemmoma in a 38-year-old woman, which was confused with lymphosarcoma.
