Ancient schwannomas are benign tumours arising from the neural sheath of peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. They are commonly situated in the inner ear and spine with pelvic manifestations being rare. We present the case of a 30-year-old patient, who presented with an abdominal mass. MRI imaging suggested a broad ligament fibroid and open surgery was undertaken to remove it. Subsequent histology confirmed an ancient schwannoma. This case report details the rarity of such a condition and the need for a high index of suspicion as well as outlining management options and surveillance.
陈旧性神经鞘瘤是起源于周围神经、颅神经和自主神经神经鞘的良性肿瘤。它们通常位于内耳和脊柱，盆腔表现罕见。我们报告一例30岁患者，该患者表现为腹部肿块。MRI成像提示阔韧带肌瘤，遂行开放手术将其切除。随后的组织学检查证实为陈旧性神经鞘瘤。本病例报告详细阐述了这种疾病的罕见性以及高度怀疑的必要性，并概述了管理方案和监测情况。
