case_images: CT scan and MRI which showed a solid mass in the presacral area (Fig. 1). CT guided true cut biopsy was taken and came back positive for schwannoma.

case_images: The PET scan showed a mass in the left pelvic area demonstrating a moderate uptake with possible malignant process (Fig. 4).

case_images: The patient couldn't go for a CT guided true cut biopsy due to the difficult position of the mass as explained by the interventional radiologist, as well as the patient's body built and narrow pelvis. The patient then was scheduled for exploratory laparotomy and total tumor resection. The tumor was excised, and histopathology report came positive for the diagnosis of Schwannoma (Fig. 5).
