Abstract
Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is one of the few truly encapsulated benign neoplasm seen in humans [1]. This tumor is derived from Schwann cells that produce collagen and myelin of the nerves. The tumor is almost always solitary and the most common locations are the flexor surfaces of the extremities, neck, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, posterior spinal roots and the cerebellopontine angle [2]. It can arise along the course of any myelinated nerve in the mentioned common sites, and the nerve of origin can be demonstrated in the periphery of the capsule. Any site in the body can be affected by schwannoma as seen rarely in the vagina. We report a case of schwannoma arising from the anterior vaginal wall.
