J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2007 Dec;17(6):769-73. doi: 10.1089/lap.2006.0169.

Abstract

Most retroperitoneal schwannomas are benign tumors originating from schwann cells and are relatively rare, especially schwannomas arising in the obturator nerve. In this paper, we describe a 44-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal schwannoma in the anomaly of the obturator nerve, which was treated by laparoscopy without any complications.
