    Author: Karaköse O, Pülat H, Oğuz S, Zihni İ, Özçelik KÇ, Yalta TD, Eken H.
    Journal: Medicine (Baltimore); 2016 Jul; 95(30):e4240. PubMed ID: 27472696.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Ancient schwannoma is a rare tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath. As degenerative properties are defined histologically, it can be wrongly interpreted as malignant. CASE PRESENTATION: The case presented here is of a giant ancient schwannoma with a pelvic retroperitoneal location, which was mimicking an adnexal mass. CONCLUSION: In the rarely seen cases in the retroperitoneum, it may reach very large dimensions.
