Presacral Schwannoma Causing Infertility in a Young Woman: Report of a Case

Schwannoma is one of the tumors that may occur in the sacral or presacral area. It is often asymptomatic and found incidentally by obstetricians or other clinicians. In this study, we report a case of presacral schwannoma as a rare cause of infertility. A 33 year-old woman referred to a gynecology clinic with complain of two years infertility and one abortion. All examinations and clinical evaluations were normal except one homogenous mass on transvaginal ultrasound. After resection via a transabdominal approach her infertility resolved after thirteen months. Histopathologic examination revealed benign schwannoma. Presacral schwannoma should be considered as a rare cause of infertility which could be resolved successfully after operation.
