RESUMO
Schwannomas are tumors rarely localized in the retroperitoneum, generally appear in craneal as well as periferic nerves. Seldom cases the diagnosis is preoperatively made just because imaging is very poor in this field. MRI is proven to be the diagnostic method. Radical surgical ressection is standarized treatment. We document a case of a benign retroperitoneal schwannoma where we explain the laparoscopic ressection of this kind of tumors for first time.

Los Schwanomas son tumores raramente localizados en el retroperitoneo, ya que habitualmente se encuentran en nervios craneales o periféricos. Raramente se diagnostican preoperatoriamente ya que ninguna de las técnicas de imagen es capaz de determinarlos con certeza. La RMN parece la prueba de elección. La exéresis quirúrgica completa es el tratamiento estándar. El caso que presentamos corresponde aun schwanoma retroperitoneal benigno como hallazgo a partir de dolor lumbar, en el describimos por primera vez la resección laparoscópica de este tipo de tumors (AU)
