Schwannomas of the female genital tract are extremely uncommon. They are usually benign, and simple excision is the adequate treatment. The case of a 57-year-old woman with a cellular schwannoma of the vagina is described, in addition to a summarized literature review of schwannomas in the female genital tract. Complete excision was performed, and the histological report confirmed to be a vaginal schwannoma. Due to its possibility to occur, even if in a very low incidence scenario, schwannomas should not be excluded from the differential diagnosis of a vaginal mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
