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.

Abstract
Şıvannomlar genelde erişkin yaş olgularda karşımıza çıkan periferik sinir kılıf tümörleri olup pediatrik yaş grubunda oldukça nadirdir ve bu yaş grubunda genellikle nörofibromatozis tip 2 ile birliktelik gösterir. Genellikle baş, boyun ve ekstremitelerde karşımıza çıkan şıvannomlar nadiren intraabdominal yerleşim gösterirler. İntraabdominal yerleşimde mide ön plana çıkarken pelvik yerleşimli şıvannomlar çok daha nadirdir. Görüntüleme özellikleri bakımından çeşitlilik gösteren şıvannomlar nadiren pür kistik yapıda olabilir. Bu klinik görüntü sunumunda pelvik kistik şıvannom saptanan pediatrik bir olgu sunulmaktadır.
