Primary benign schwannomas of the heart are very rare. We report the case of a patient with a huge schwannoma of unique aortic origin. The complete resection of the rare tumor has been successfully performed. There is no recurrent tumor in the 5 years follow‐up. We focus our attention on the surgical technique.
