Abstract
Schwannoma is a benign tumor that grows from the Schwann cells forming the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific and generally due to compression of the adjacent structures of a growing tumor. The location of the tumor in the scrotum is rare; its primary diagnosis is difficult and only immunohistochemical examination allows the final diagnosis to be established. The authors present a clinical case of a patient operated on at the Urology Department, Moscow Clinical Research Center, for intrascrotal schwannoma causing impaired microcirculation in the scrotal skin to form purulent scrotal ulcers. In terms of the benign pattern and extratesticular localization of the tumor, its removal without orchifuniculectomy can yield a good clinical result.
