Schwannoma is a rare nervous tumor developed on schwan cells. It occurs usually in the extremities, the trunk and the head region. Its occurrence in the breast is rare with only a few cases being reported. It usually appears as a breast lump having clinical and radiological characteristics suggestive of benign lesions. Its diagnosis is histological. Its treatment is surgical. Through two observations and a literature review we would try to remind the characteristics of this tumor and its management.
