Depicted is a space-occupying presacral schwannoma with diameter of 8,5 cm of a 44-year-old female patient (a). After median lower abdominal laparotomy, the mass is carefully preparated after mobilizing the left compressed ovary (+) in direct proximity to the tumor (*). Ultimately, enucleation and complete removal of the mass was performed. The heterogeneous morphology of the benign tumor is clearly visible after sectioning (c / d). Patient described abdominal pain and bladder dysfunction preoperatively which disappeared in the postoperative follow up period
