Pelvic neurilemmoma.

Abstract

A case of a 37-year-old man admitted to our Department of Internal Medicine for medical evaluation of hypertension is reported. The patient had a 4-year history of oscillating hypertension prior to admission, however, with no major subjective complaints, except for pollakisuria. Clinical and biochemical assessment revealed no damage to target organs. Laboratory parameters showed normal values, except for hyperlipidemia. On routine ultrasonography of the pelvis confirmed a pelvic tumor of uncertain etiology, with no abdominal lymph node enlargement. No signs of metastasis were found. The patient was transferred to the Department of Surgery, where the tumor was removed in toto. Histopathologic analysis of the tumor, 11 x 8 x 8 cm in size, composed of cellular and mixoid areas with traces of collagenous connective tissue, necrosis, and tiny calcifications with scattered palisading nuclei and Verocay bodies, pointed to the diagnosis of a benign tumor, i.e. neurilemmoma. Postoperatively, the patient's subjective state was excellent, with normal blood pressure values, and without pollakisuria. A very large space-occupying lesion was responsible for compression of the neighboring organs, especially urinary bladder, resulting in pollakisuria. To our knowledge, pelvic localization of neurilemmoma, particularly a large one, is rare.
