Popis: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are a heterogenous group of predominantly benign tumors of neurogenic origin that arise outside of the central nervous system and include schwannomas and neurofibromas. These tumors often occur sporadically, however multiple lesions are generally associated with genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis (type 1 and 2) and schwannomatosis, and occasionally these tumors and their malignant variations are associated with a history of radiation treatment. Multiple benign schwannomas in an irradiated field have seldom been reported in the literature. We describe a case of a 49-year-old male with a history of right sided irradiated testicular cancer who presented with 2 histologically confirmed benign schwannomas in the right pelvic wall and right psoas muscle.
