Abstract
- Schwannoma, also referred to as neurilemmoma, neurinoma, and perineural fibroblastoma, is the most frequent solitary tumor of the peripheral nerves. It is an encapsulated sheath tumor consisting or two components: a highly ordered cellular component( Antoni A area) and a loose, myxoid tomponent( Antoni B area ). It is usually solitary and may be benign or malignant, solid or cystic, encapsulated or diffuse. It rarely occurs in the retroperitoneal space. We report a very rare case of Schwannoma developed in the muscular layer of the bladder wall and review the relevant literatures.
