Abstract:

Pancreatic schwannoma is rare clinical entity with less than 80 cases reported in literature. These are usually benign with no specific clinical and radiological features and may present as solid and or cystic lesion on imaging. Diagnosis is usually established by histopathological examination. There is no clarity in the literature about its diagnosis and management. Accurate diagnosis before surgery, is mandated for its preoperative management strategy. We herein discuss the management of the two cases of Schwannomas with review of literature.
