Abstract

Scrotal nerve sheath tumours unassociated with neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis are extremely rare. Very few cases of benign intrascrotal and extratesticular schwannomas have been reported, but none of them occurred in childhood. This current report describes for the first time a case of benign intrascrotal extratesticular solitary schwannoma in a 16-year-old male.
