We present a patient with retroperitoneal ancient Schwannoma, who underwent surgery by the authors. Aspects of Schwannomas and the particular characteristics of the ancient Schwannomas are analyzed. The possibility of being related to von Recklinghausen's disease is analyzed, as well as the surgical possibilities, with emphasis on complete resection. The rare frequency of this tumor in the retroperitoneum is analyzed.

Keywords : Schwannoma; Ancient schwannoma; retroperitoneum.
