Abstrakt: A 58 years old male came with a painful swelling in right gluteal region. On examination a small mass was found which was subsequently excised. Histopathological study reported presence of presumptive schwannomatosis, as there were 4 tumours composed of Antoni A and Antoni B areas along with Verocay bodies. As post-operative MRI scan of base of brain and ophthalmological examination of patient failed to reveal vestibular schwannomas and ocular stigmata of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) respectively, a final diagnosis of definite schwannomatosis was made.
