Benign renal schwannoma: A case report and literature review.
Heidi R. Umphrey, Mark E. Lockhart, Philip J. Kenney
Abstract
Schwannomas are tumors arising from cells of the nerve sheath. While schwannomas are commonly found in peripheral nerves and cranial nerves, these tumors are rarely found within the kidney and may be difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma.
