Source abstract
Extratesticular schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is an exceedingly rare benign paratesticular tumor, the diagnosis of which is usually challenging. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with a painless scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasonography confirmed the extratesticular location but offered nonspecific findings. A definitive diagnosis was established via histopathology after complete surgical excision. This case highlights the need to include schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric paratesticular masses. To our knowledge, this is the third documented pediatric intrascrotal extratesticular schwannoma and involved the youngest patient reported in the literature.
