Abstract

In this report a case with sacral schwannoma was presented. The patient was a 36-year-old female with suprapubic and right lower abdominal pain. A tumor of 38 mm diameter was localized at the presacral area. The tumor was palpable at the digital rectal examination. It was also visualized by pelvic ultrasonography, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was excised through a median lower abdominal incision. Estimated blood loss was 2500 ml especially from the presacral plexus. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the postoperative day 7. Histopathological evaluation confirmed the preoperative diagnosis. Presacral schwannoma is an extremely rare tumor. Transabdominal excision is a procedure that can be performed especially in large presacral tumor. Operative blood loss can be profuse due to presacral venous plexus. Total excision is the treatment with excellent prognosis. Debulking can be done if total excision is not accomplished.

Özet

Bu makalede pelvik tümörler içerisinde nadir olarak görülen bir sakral schwannoma olgusu sunulmuştur. Sağ alt kadran ve suprapubik bölgede ağrı nedeniyle başvuran 36 yaşındaki bayan hastada presakral bölgede lokalize 38 mm çapında tümör saptandı. Tümör rektal muayenede palpe edilebiliyordu. Kitle ayrıca pelvik ultrasonografi, pelvik tomografi ve magnetik rezonans ile de görüntülendi. Tümör orta hat alt abdominal insizyonla eksize edildi. Peroperatif olarak presakral pleksustan yaklaşık 2500 cc kan kaybı oldu. Postoperatif takipleri normal seyreden hasta 7. Günde taburcu edildi. Histopatolojik değerlendirme preoperatif tanı ile uyumluydu. Presakral schwannoma nadir görülen bir tümördür. Özellikle büyük presakral tümörlerde transabdominal yaklaşım tercih edilen bir yöntemdir. Total eksizyon yapıldığında prognoz mükemmeldir. Total eksizyon yapılamadığında debulking de yapılabilmektedir.
