Abstract

Schwannomas are benign neurogenic soft tissue tumors arising from the Schwann cells which are sheath cells of peripheral nerves. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are very rare. The are not usually recognized until they cause symptoms from mass effect, and thus, they may reach very large size. In this paper, we report a 60-year-old female patient who was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal discomfort. Preoperative computed tomography of the abdomen detected a giant retroperitoneal mass. The tumor was totally resected with a prediagnosis of retroperitoneal schwannoma based on computed tomography findings without using additional imaging methods or biopsy. The patient was discharged without any complication on the 4th postoperative day. Correlative findings of preoperative radiological and postoperative histopathological examinations of retroperitoneal schwannoma are discussed in detail.

Özet

Schwannomlar periferik sinir kılıfı hücresi olan Schwan hücrelerinden gelişen iyi huylu nörojenik yumuşak doku tümörleridir. Retroperitoneal yerleşimli schwannomlar çok nadir görülürler. Genellikle kitle etkisine bağlı bir semptom oluşturana kadar farkedilmezler ve bu nedenle büyük boyutlara ulaşırlar. Bu olgu sunumunda abdominal rahatsızlık hissi ile başvuran ve bilgisayarlı tomografide dev retroperitoneal kitlesi saptanan 60 yaşındaki kadın hasta ele alınmıştır. Bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularından yola çıkılarak başka bir ek görüntüleme veya biyopsi yapılmadan retroperitoneal schwannom ön tanısı alan hastada kitle, açık cerrahi yöntem ile total olarak eksize edilmiş ve ameliyat sonrası dördüncü günde komplikasyonsuz olarak taburcu edilmiştir. Histopatolojik incelemesinde schwannom ön tanısı doğrulanmıştır. Bu olgu eşliğinde, nadir görülen retroperitoneal bir tümörün radyolojik ve histopatolojik bulguları birlikte tartışılmıştır.
