Presacral schwannomas are a rare disease. The current case report presents a case of giant schwannoma with severe abdominal pain, constipation and dysuresia. The patient was initially diagnosed with an ovarian teratoma, which is an extremely common disease. The pain pattern and accompanying symptoms were the major factors indicating a teratoma. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans were the ...

Teratomas are rarely seen in adults, and presacral region is an area where they rarely settle in. Similarly, only about 1% of teratomas show malignant transformation. Malignant transformation is often associated with the area where teratoma settles in. Malignant transformation of mediastinal teratomas is more frequent than the ones located in retroperitoneal area and gonad. They most commonly s...

Retrorectal cystic hamartomas are rare congenital presacral lesions and malignancy is extremely rare. Although surgical excision is the essential for treatment, a unique feature of our case compared with previously reported tailgut cysts is that this patient's blood irregular antibodies are positive with higher operational risks.A 44-year-old woman presented to our department complaining of pel...

Background Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminate (LPD), is a rare disease in which multiple smooth muscles or smooth muscle-like nodules develop in a subperitoneal location in any part of the abdominal cavity. No reports of multiple congenital malformations associated with LPD have been found in English literature. Case presentation We report such a case of a 27 yr-old patient referred to our...

Sacral and presacral schwannomas are often found incidentally, because they present with vague symptoms or symptomless. Schwannoma occurring in this area occasionally presents with enormous dimensions, known as a giant schwannoma. The tumor removal is a surgical challenge due to the difficult approach and abundant vascularity. The aim of this study is to review cases of giant sacral schwannomas...

INTRODUCTION Currarino syndrome (Currarino triad) was described in 1981 as a triad syndrome with a common embryogenesis in infants and with three characteristics: anorectal stenosis, a defect in the sacral bone, and a presacral mass. We describe here an unusual case of Currarino syndrome in an adult presenting with a presacral abscess but no meningitis. CASE PRESENTATION A 32-year-old Japanes...

Myelolipomas are rare, benign nonfunctioning tumors, most commonly found in the adrenal glands. At least 43 cases of extra adrenal myelolipomas have been reported, with at least 50% of these reported cases occurring in the presacral region. Herein we report a case of presacral myelolipoma managed laparoscopically.
