    Abstract:
    Benign retroperitoneal neural sheath tumors in patients without von Recklinghausen's disease are quite rare and usually presented as isolated case reports. There are two types of benign neural sheath neoplasms: schwannoma and neurofibroma. Confusion exists in the nomenclature of these tumors due to the disagreement upon their cell of origin. In a collective report from two institutions, three cases with benign retroperitoneal neural sheath tumors are presented, and the histological features, diagnostic and therapeutic options are discussed.
