Abstract | Schwannoma, typically a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells, can develop in various parts of the body, including the retroperitoneal and pelvic regions. In this observation, we report the case of a giant retro-uterine presacral schwannoma in a 25-year-old woman, revealed by atypical pelvic pain and diagnosed through CT and MRI imaging. The patient underwent surgery via both abdominal and Kraske's posterior approaches, and histology confirmed the diagnosis as benign. Schwannomas in this location are highly rare. They can progress to a malignant form, especially in patients with neurofibromatosis. Imaging examinations, particularly MRI, are more accurate in distinguishing benign from malignant tumors. Biopsy is often discouraged due to potential risks. Histological classifications and S100 protein expression aid in diagnosis. Surgery is the primary treatment, but the approach varies based on location and associated risks. Kraske's posterior trans-sacral approach can be an alternative. Although recurrences are rare, postoperative CT surveillance is recommended due to delayed diagnosis and uncertainty regarding tumor malignancy. |
