Schwannoma is a type of nerve tumor of the nerve sheath. They are preferentially localized on the head, neck, and flexor surfaces of the extremities. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is extremely rare. The diagnosis is uncommon and based on the anatomopathological and immunochemistry examination of the surgical specimen. We herein report an uncommon location of schwannoma treated with conventional surgery in a 53-year-old female patient admitted to our department for chronic abdominal pain. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a rare disease that occurs in adult females. The histopathological examination is the only reliable examination for the diagnosis after total surgical resection.

Introduction And Importance: Schwannomas arise from Schwann cells, which make up the neural sheath of peripheral nerves. These tumors are usually seen in the head, neck and flexor surfaces, but can arise in the retroperitoneal space on rare occasions. This case gives the unique opportunity to watch the long term progression and speed of growth of this rare tumor and the development of symptoms over time.

Obturator schwannomas are rare and often misdiagnosed as intraperitoneal pelvic masses. The optimal surgical approach for their resection is unclear. This study presents a case demonstrating the safe use of robotics for resecting a benign pelvic schwannoma and reviews the literature on robotic cases.
