Since renal cell carcinoma could not be ruled out, radical nephrectomy was performed. The tumor weighed190 g. Histological examination revealedAntoni A andAntoni B type schwannoma. Schwannoma is a tumor arising from the sheath of the peripheral nerves. The present case is the 6th case of schwannoma arising in the renal hilum reportedin the English andJapanese literature.
