ABSTRACT
Schwannomas are slow-growing benign tumors originating from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheaths. Herein, we report the first documented case of a schwannoma presenting as a painful nipple mass in a 32-year-old woman. This mass initially developed six years ago following a period of breastfeeding. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed an iso-intense mass, with an approximate size of 2.2 cm, on a T1-weighted image with internal cystic changes. The mass exhibited heterogeneously delayed enhancement and restricted diffusion.Surgical excision was performed, and the diagnosis of cutaneous plexiform nipple schwannoma was confirmed histopathologically. A literature review revealed that the MRI findings of the nipple mass in our case were consistent with the common features of a schwannoma.
