Article Synopsis
- Schwannomas are tumors that arise from Schwann cells in nerve sheaths and can cause significant symptoms and complications when located in the retroperitoneum.
- A case of a 71-year-old woman with a giant abdominal mass revealed major health issues, leading to surgery where the tumor was successfully removed despite significant bleeding.
- The need for total surgical excision remains critical, especially when a patient experiences debilitating symptoms, as preoperative biopsies may not change the treatment approach.
