Abstract
We present the clinical case of a 41-year-old woman with no relevant personal history. The patient complained of diffuse self-limiting abdominal pain, and we incidentally detected an extra-abdominal, extraperitoneal tumor mass at the level of the right sciatic notch. The abdominal complaints were gone during the initial follow-up, but the patient developed sciatica radiating to the right foot and electric shock-like pain. A computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy revealed a low-grade mesenchymal neoplasm of the soft tissues with characteristics consistent with a solitary extrapleural fibrous tumor. The pelvis team of the orthopedics department received the patient for surgical excision of the lesion. The procedure occurred with no complications, and we excised the totality of the lesion with tumor-free margins. An anatomopathological examination was compatible with the biopsy assessment. The excision of the lesion resulted in complete resolution of the sciatic nerve compression-related symptoms.
