Schwannoma originating in the retroperitoneal space is relatively rare. The author reported a case of retroperitoneal Schwannoma confirmed by surgery and pathology, presented the typical CT and MRI manifestations of Schwannoma——“target signs”, described the pathophysiological mechanism and image differential diagnosis of the disease, so as to strengthen readers’ understanding of the typical signs of Schwannoma and improve the correct diagnosis rate of the disease.
Schwannoma originating from the common bile duct is rare. We presented a patient who was diagnosed with biliary cystadenoma preoperatively and pathologically confirmed as a choledochal Schwannoma, analyzed the CT and MRI imaging manifestations, and illustrated its anatomical and pathological basis, and to improve the understanding of clinicians and radiologists for choledochal Schwannoma.
