OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, radiological and genetic findings of a family affected by Currarino syndrome (CS) (agenesis of the sacrum, presacral mass, and anal-rectal anomalies), and to familiarise the radiologist with this condition that, although uncommon, could be suspected by its characteristic images. MATERIAL AND METHODS A study was made of 8 out of 9 family members (the parents...

Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors most commonly seen in cranial and peripheral nerves. Pelvic schwannomas are particularly unusual. They are slow-growing tumors and detected incidentally. We report a giant presacral schwannoma in a 74-years-old woman who presented with urinary incontinence. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography pointed out a large well-circumscribed solitar...

INTRODUCTION Myelolipomas are uncommon, benign tumors composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. They mostly occur in the adrenal glands, but extra-adrenal myelolipomas have also been reported in other locations such as the presacral region, retroperitoneum, pelvis and mediastinum. Here, we present a case of an extra-adrenal myelolipoma in a rare site: the renal parenchyma. T...

This is a case report of a 56-year-old male with hypertension who presented with urinary retention and bowel incontinence. CT and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large complex cystic and solid enhancing mass in the right presacral space. Pathology biopsy result showed malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) with extensive necrosis. The diagnosis of MPNST is extremely difficult du...

This report presents a case of a combined infected rectal duplication cyst (RDC) associated incidentally with a meningomyelocele in and adult female documented with sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A comprehensive differential diagnosis is presented. Surgical excision is recommended to prevent malignant degeneration of the RDC. CASE PRESENTATION An 18 year-old female presented with pe...

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare, ubiquitous neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, with distinctive histopathological and immunohistochemical features. We herein report an unusual case of a presacral SFT diagnosed in an asymptomatic 40-year-old woman preoperatively investigated with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Post-operative pathology examination showed a SFT containing...
