Further imaging and histopathology confirmed a schwannoma. A laparoscopic resection was performed with no major complications, and the mass was confirmed to be benign with hemorrhagic and cystic degeneration. The patient recovered uneventfully post-surgery and was discharged with recommendations for long-term monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
