Giant dumbbell shaped malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour arising from sciatic nerve: A case report

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours in the sciatic nerve are sporadic and are often misdiagnosed.We herein report a case of a 22-year-old woman presenting with low back pain radiating to the right lower limb and right lower limb weakness.CT and MRI scan showed a large complex solid cystic lesion arising from S1 and S2 nerve roots extending from the right presacral space and traversing through the obturator foramina and emerging in the right gluteal region.Surgical resection with a bi-modal (Trans abdominal and gluteal) approach resulted in complete excision of the mass with an appreciable margin.The histopathological report showed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour.Post tumour board discussion patient underwent adjuvant radiation.The patient has been under regular follow-up for six months and is disease-free.
