“…20,21 Despite being benign, some cases of malignant degeneration have been described (less than 0.001%, depending on the series) and especially in cases associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. 22,23 Its gold standard treatment is the marginal resection of the tumor, preserving the anatomy and functionality of the nerve. This is possible in the case of schwannomas, which grow eccentrically to the tumor, but not in the case of neurofibromas that require much more aggressive surgery.…”

Schwannoma is a tumor composed of Schwann cells. This is the most common benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath, representing the 8% of all soft tissue tumors, affecting the sciatic nerve in less than 1% of cases. Due to its location in the nerve sheath, these types of tumors produce symptoms related to nerve function and compression of adjacent structures. Diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance and is confirmed by pathological anatomy, often after screening of radicular pathology with normal magnetic resonance and symptomatology compatible with clinical sciatica.We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with a tumor in the posterior area of the right thigh of one year of evolution. After the examination and the appropriate complementary tests, she was diagnosed with schwannoma of the peripheral sheath of the right sciatic nerve. The patient underwent surgery for tumor exeresis with satisfactory results and acceptable aftermath.
