    Anorectal neurilemomas are rare tumors. This report details two solitary cases, one perirectal and one perianal, without neurofibromatosis, and reviews existing literature.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Anorectal neurilemomas are infrequent tumors.
    • Neurilemomas, also known as schwannomas, originate from Schwann cells of peripheral nerves.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of solitary anorectal neurilemomas are presented.
    • One patient had a perirectal neoplasm, and the other had a perianal tumor.
    • Neither patient exhibited signs of generalized neurofibromatosis.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed neurilemomas in both cases.
    • The lesions were solitary and did not show features of malignancy.
    • Review of literature indicates rarity and typical solitary presentation.

    Implications:
