Abstract

Benign nerve sheath tumors rarely present as giant retroperitoneal masses with vertebral erosion. Their preoperative diagnosis is often challenging due to non-specific clinical and radiologic features. Despite their size, these tumors are usually well encapsulated, and recurrence is rare following complete excision. Reported cases have mostly been managed by single-specialty surgical teams. We present a case of a large retroperitoneal schwannoma with vertebral erosion managed through a collaborative approach between urology and neurosurgery, enabling safe and nerve-sparing tumor resection.
