Schwannomas are benign tumors that arise from Schwann cells of neural sheath and can occur in any part of the body, with the most common locations being the head, neck, spinal cord, and extremities. However, Schwannoma in the porta hepatis is extremely rare. This case describes a 36-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain due to porta hepatic schwannoma.
