[A case of intrascrotal schwannoma]

A 70-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of a left intrascrotal mass. A painless, solid and elastic-hard mass was palpable in the left scrotum. The testis, epididymis and spermatic cord could not be palpated separately from the mass. Tumor resection was performed. The tumor was 13 x 7.5 x 3.0 cm in size and 285 g in weight. Histological diagnosis was schwannoma. To our knowledge, the case was considered as the sixth reported in Japan.
