Objective: Submitting a case of intra-renal schwannoma with unfrequent radiological characteristics.
Methods: 72 years old patient, as incidental finding. When practicing a thorax radiography that showed an elevation of the right hemidiaphragm, as well as tumor presence located at right renal fossa level in the simple abdomen radiography. Tomography was carried out in simple phase and with contrast agent finding this tumor. It was possible to determine that said tumor doesn’t invade the inferior vena cava or other structures, through Magnetic Resonance.
Results: After the surgical exeresis, the patient was diagnosed with an intra-renal schwannoma. Any supplemental treatment is not administered.
Conclusions: The antique schwannoma is an uncommon variant of the so called benign schwannoma. It is important to consider that Computerized Tomography is a reliable method for detection of said pathology considering as a possibility, other differential diagnosis knowing each one´s characteristics.
