Authors present a case report of 53 years old man with benign retroperitoneal schwannoma localised below the lower pole of the left kidney. Primary percutaneous biopsy has failed to make correct diagnosis. The patient underwent retroperitoneal surgery and removal of the tumor. Neurological complication - sensory and short-time motoric dysfunction in the femoral nerve area followed the surgery. This complication completely disappeared after physiotherapy after short period. The patient is free of any problem and satisfied now.
