Benign schwannoma or neurilemmoma, belongs to the group of benign neural origin neoplasms. The case of a patient with a mass of the thigh posterior-lateral region that produces neurophatic pain found at imagenological studies was reported, the differential diagnose was as a soft tissue tumor. Classic benign neurilemmoma (Schwannoma) with cystic degeneration diagnosis was made at anatomo-pathological examination, which corresponds to an unusual presentation. Its definitive diagnosis was by histopathological analysis, without using immunohistochemistry.
