Laparoscopic resection of a retroperitoneal schwannoma located in the hepatic hilus
Schwannomas are tumors and commonly occur in the head and neck region; however, they rarely present in the retroperitoneum. A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a follow-up of a tumor in the hepatic hilus. A 2.8 × 2.5 cm solid tumor located between the hepatic hilus and common hepatic...

description | Schwannomas are tumors and commonly occur in the head and neck region; however, they rarely present in the retroperitoneum. A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a follow-up of a tumor in the hepatic hilus. A 2.8 × 2.5 cm solid tumor located between the hepatic hilus and common hepatic artery was originally identified, and the size of the tumor had increased from 2.0 × 2.0 cm to 2.8 × 2.5 cm over the course of 3 years. The patient underwent percutaneous sonopsy, and the tumor was subsequently diagnosed as a benign schwannoma. Since the patient wished to undergo an operation, we performed laparoscopic surgery. During the operation, the tumor was detected in the retroperitoneal space, where it was strongly adhered between the left gastric artery and common hepatic artery. At this point, no major vessels had vascularized the tumor. We then completely removed the tumor from the retroperitoneal space without any complications. The clinical course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 4 without any symptoms. Later, a definitive histopathologic examination revealed a benign schwannoma. Here, we report this rare case of a retroperitoneal schwannoma located in the hepatic hilus. |
