A 41-year-old man with abdominal enlargement, as a result of large retroperitoneal Schwannoma, was reported to our center. It was seen to have caused the displacement of the colon and was attached to the presacral region of the spine. Following the diagnosis, successful resection of Schwannoma was achieved.

Paragangliomas are slow-growing, extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumors with rare intracranial presentation. Although benign, they can be locally aggressive tumors causing bone destruction and compression related symptoms. We report the case of a 19 years old, normotensive female who presented with headache and vertigo for the past six months.

Article Synopsis
  • - Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are mostly non-cancerous tumors that originate from nerve cells outside the brain and spinal cord, mainly categorized as schwannomas and neurofibromas.
  • - These tumors can occur on their own but are often linked to genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 or schwannomatosis, and they can sometimes develop in areas that have been treated with radiation.
  • - The case presented involves a 49-year-old man with a history of testicular cancer who previously received radiation, now showing two benign schwannomas located in his pelvic wall and psoas muscle.

This report highlights the successful treatment of large pelvic schwannomas and underscores the importance of preoperative embolization. A 40-year-old male presented with a lower abdominal mass and reported pain and numbness in the left lower limb attributed to nerve compression. Preoperative embolization of the main feeding vessels was performed to mitigate intraoperative bleeding.
