초록
Schwannomas arise from schwann cells in the peripheral nerve sheath, without involving the nerve fibers. Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that infrequently recur and rarely undergo malignant change. Also schwannomas of the female genitalia are considered extremely rare. We report a case of schwannoma of the clitoris. A 76-year-old woman without neurofi bromatosis presented with a 2.0 × 1.7 cm, painless mass of the clitoris. Simple surgical excision of the mass was undertaken,and fi nal pathology revealed schwannoma of the clitoris. No evidence of local recurrence was noted after 1 year of follow-up.
