We report a very rare case of giant schwannomas of the sciatic nerve in a 39-year-old woman who presented with increasing swelling and discomfort in the posterior aspect of her right thigh. We demonstrate that even with such large tumours, surgical excision could be successfully carried out to resolve all symptoms while causing no permanent nerve damage. It remains paramount that large soft tissue tumours get referred to a sarcoma centre and be managed by a specialist multidisciplinary team.
我们报告了一例非常罕见的坐骨神经巨大施万细胞瘤病例，患者为一名39岁女性，其右大腿后部出现肿胀加剧和不适症状。我们证明，即使是如此大的肿瘤，也可以成功进行手术切除以消除所有症状，且不会造成永久性神经损伤。至关重要的是，大型软组织肿瘤应转诊至肉瘤中心，并由专业的多学科团队进行管理。
