Solitary schwannoma of the retroglandular sulcus of the glans penis.

Introduction. Solitary schwannoma is usually located in the head area and the limbs. We report a case of benign solitary schwannoma of the retroglandular sulcus of the glans penis. Case report. A 64-year-old man had developed over the past year an asymptomatic nodule arising from the retroglandular sulcus of the glans penis. The nodule was removed surgically and histopathological study showed benign schwannoma. There was no association with neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis. Discussion. Benign solitary schwannoma of the penis is rare. It is most often located on the dorsal shaft of the penis in a young adult. Surgical excision is required. Malignant schwannoma of the penis is very rarely reported.
