Abstract
Schwannoma arising within breast parenchyma is very rare. This report describes such a case in a 52 year
old woman. This tumor, which measured 3.5cmx2.5cm, was painless mobile, smooth and elastic. At
ultrasonography, it appeared as a hypoechoic solid mass. Fine needle cytology revealed several clusters of
spindle cells indicative of a neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. Histological examination evidenced the
characteristic morphological appearance of a Schwannoma with Antoni A and Antoni B areas.
