Leontev A.V., Evseeva E.V., Serova N.S., Danilov M.A.

Purpose. Describe the difficulties of diagnosing and treating a pelvic neurogenic tumor (schwannoma), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and the role of radiology methods in this pathology.

Materials and methods. A case of a pelvic neurogenic tumor (schwannoma) in a 53-year-old patient is presented. MRI was performed using a Philips Intera 1.5 T magnetic resonance scanner with intravenous dynamic contrast enhancement (Omniscan 10.0 ml).

Results. The features of radiation semiotics of pelvis schwannoma, the possibility of MRI in the diagnosis of this pathology are described. The diagnosis was verified by surgery.           There are certain difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal extraorganic tumors, which is associated with scant clinical manifestations and the late detection of this pathology, as well as the anatomical features of the small pelvis.

Conclusion. In diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors (schwannomas), CT and MRI are equally informative and complement each other, they are the methods of choice. With their help, it is possible to accurately determine the size and structure of the tumor, its relationship with the surrounding structures, as well as to plan surgical intervention and reduce the risk of complications.
