Abstract
Schwannoma is a benign tumor of nerve sheath origin. It is commonly found in the head and neck, mediastan, retroperitoan and flexor surfaces of the extremities. Schwannoma's occurrence in the breast is rare with only a few cases being reported in women and is even less frequent in men. This case study introduces a 57 years old male breast schwannoma and reviews other reported cases and compare with them.
