Abstract

Abstract Background: Schwannoma is a usually a benign tumor of nerve sheath origin, most frequently occurring in the neck, the head, and the extremities. Its occurrence in breast tissue is rare. There have been only 29 proven cases of breast schwannoma described in the literature. Cases: We describe the clinicopathologic presentation, imagery findings, and management of four cases of breast schwannoma treated with surgery and review those documented in the literature. All patients in this series are doing well without any evidence of recurrent disease. Conclusion: Breast schwannomas are usually well circumscribed, noninvasive, and show a benign appearance on imagery. Complete surgical excision is the best choice of treatment.
