Retroperitoneal presacral schwannomas are uncommon and are usually diagnosed
accidentally. We present here the case of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with an
expansive pelvic lesion during a routine gynecological examination. The precise
location of the tumor, as well as its relation to adjacent structures, was determined
through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient underwent laparoscopic
lesion resection and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. An MRI
performed 2 months after surgery confirmed complete lesion resection.
