Incidental large pelvic schwannoma found on rectal cancer staging

Abstract

We present the case of a 53-year-old man with newly diagnosed stage III rectal cancer who was found to have an incidental large pelvic schwannoma on staging imaging. Open enucleation and resection of the 11-cm schwannoma was performed to facilitate our oncologic resection, allowing for a single-stage procedure. Number of similar cases published: three.
