F. Berard et al., SOLITARY SCHWANNOMA OF THE RETROGLANDULAR SULCUS OF THE GLANS-PENIS, Annales de dermatologie et de venereologie, 125(10), 1998, pp. 729-731
Introduction. Solitary schwannoma is usually located in the head area
and the limbs. We report a case of benign solitary schwannoma of the r
etroglandular sulcus of the glans penis. Case report. A 64-year-old ma
n had developed over the past year an asymptomatic nodule arising from
the retroglandular sulcus of the glans penis. The nodule was removed
surgically and histopathological study showed benign schwannoma. There
was no association with neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis. Discuss
ion. Benign solitary schwannoma of the penis is rare. It is most often
located on the dorsal shaft of the penis in a young adult. Surgical e
xcision is required. Malignant schwannoma of the penis is very rarely
reported.
