Benign schwannoma of the obturator nerve: A case report, ,

We describe a schwannoma of the obturator nerve in a woman 66 years old. It was diagnosed only postoperatively because of the aspecificity of the symptoms. The difficulty of making a correct diagnosis during surgery is discussed, and the potential serious consequences of total excision of the nerve are described. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1998;179:816-7.)
