Paratesticular schwannoma is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin and there are a few reports in the literature describing this entity. In this study, with a painless scrotal lesion for 11 years, a 13-year-old boy with intrascrotal extratesticular schwannoma is presented. The tumoral mass was totally excised in a testis sparing manner. The medical history of the patient, radiological and histopathological findings are also given together with a brief literature review on this issue.
