Ann Urol (Paris). 2002 Mar;36(2):104-6. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4401(01)00084-5.

Abstract

Ancient schwannoma is a rare subtype of typical schwannoma, with histological predominance of degenerative findings. We report the second case of retroperitoneal ancient schwannoma (occurred in a 45-year-old female referred to our institution for an unremitting right lumbar pain) and pinpoint clinical, radiological, prognosis and therapeutic aspects of this tumor.
