Abstract

Schwannomas of the female genital tract are extremely uncommon. They are usually benign, and simple excision is the adequate treatment. The case of a 57-year-old woman with a cellular schwannoma of the vagina is described, in addition to a summarized literature review of schwannomas in the female genital tract. Complete excision was performed, and the histological report confirmed to be a vaginal schwannoma. Due to its possibility to occur, even if in a very low incidence scenario, schwannomas should not be excluded from the differential diagnosis of a vaginal mass.
