Abstract
- Bladder schwannoma is a rare tumour arising from Schwann cells in nerve sheaths. It is usually more common in patients diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. However, isolated cases of urinary bladder schwannoma is incredibly rare, attributing to <0.1% of bladder tumours. A literature review and analysis revealed that it presents in adulthood, is mostly symptomatic and diagnosis is established histologically. We report a case of isolated bladder schwannoma in 25 year-old female who presented with dyspareunia.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2018.
