Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Schwannomas are neuroectodermal tumors.
- Retroperitoneal schwannomas are exceptionally rare.
Observation:

- Radiological imaging identified the masses.
Findings:
- Both patients underwent successful surgical excision.
- Histopathological examination confirmed schwannoma.
- Complete surgical excision is the gold standard treatment.
Implications:
- Preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal schwannoma is challenging.
- Definitive diagnosis relies on post-operative histopathological examination.
- Surgical management offers a favorable prognosis.
