Abstract
A 7-year-6-month-old female was diagnosed with a pelvic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and lymph node metastases. Tumorectomy was performed after four cycles of chemotherapy. A 33-mm cystic lesion was observed around the left iliac muscle after three cycles of postoperative chemotherapy, and proton beam therapy (PBT) was recommended. She was referred for absorbable spacer (AS) placement. The left ovarian appendage (OA) was resected due to the direct tumor infiltration. The right OA was fixed to the uterosacral ligament. The AS was fixed to the lateral pelvis. The PBT (70.3 Gy relative biological effectiveness) was performed successfully with the AS, and she also had the reproducing possibility due to prevention of severe irradiation damage of the right OA. AS eliminated the surgical removal of spacers and enabled us high-dose PBT for residual tumor without severe irradiation damage including infertility.
