Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • A 37-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of fluctuating hypertension and urinary frequency (pollakisuria).
  • Initial evaluations revealed no target organ damage or lymphadenopathy, but did show hyperlipidemia.

Observation:

  • Pelvic ultrasonography identified a large, space-occupying tumor of unknown origin.
  • The tumor measured 11 x 8 x 8 cm and was surgically excised.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the tumor as a benign neurilemmoma, characterized by cellular and mixoid areas, Verocay bodies, and calcifications.
  • The large tumor size was causing compression of adjacent pelvic structures, notably the urinary bladder.

Implications:

  • Surgical resection of the pelvic neurilemmoma led to complete resolution of the patient's hypertension and pollakisuria.
  • This case underscores the rarity of large pelvic neurilemmomas and their potential to cause significant mass effect symptoms.
