Abstract

Soft tissue tumors of Schwann cells in either the peripheral or cranial nerves are known as schwannomas or also as neurilemmomas. Limited data exists regarding psoas muscle schwannoma in the literature. Therefore, we have done an extensive literature review and found a total number of 46 cases of intra-psoas schwannoma including our case, which are summarized in this article along with reporting our new case.
