Neurilemmoma is a benign neurogenic tumour arising from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath, which is commonly seen in women in the 5th decade. It rarely arises in the retroperitoneum, being more common in the head and neck region and extremities. Ancient variety of schwannoma is a long-standing tumour, is seen in the middle age and elderly age groups, and is associated with secondary degenerative changes. Herein, we report a case of benign retroperitoneal paravertebral ancient neurilemmoma occurring in a young male adult.

Bioarchaeological data for tuberculosis (TB) have been published very sporadically in China or the rest of East Asia. To explore the history of TB in this area, 85 skeletons excavated from the Liuwei Cemetery in Shaanxi, China (202 BC-220 AD) were macroscopically examined to record TB related bone changes. These skeletons represented inhabitants of Maolingyi, an urban area that had a high population density during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 CE).

Ancient neurilemoma is a rare variant of neurilemoma and can grow into a large tumor, which results in several symptoms. It is often misdiagnosed to be malignant neoplasm because of its histological features of nuclear atypia. The authors reported an 87-year-old woman presenting with progressive dyspnea and chronic cough for more than 1 year.
