A rare pediatric case with radiological findings: Pelvic cystic schwannoma

Abstract

Schwannomas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors usually detected in adults which are extremely rare in pediatric population and when present they are commonly associated with Neurofibromatosis type 2. While frequently observed in the head, neck, and extremities, they could be detected anywhere in the body including abdominal cavity. The most common site for intraabdominal schwannomas is stomach and pelvic schwannomas are extremely rare. The imaging characteristics are quite diverse, and they could seldom be pure cystic. Herein, we describe a case in the pediatric age group diagnosed with pelvic cystic schwannoma.
