Abstract

A 43-year-old man with a large ancient schwannoma of the pelvis, presenting with varicose veins, is reported. Ancient schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign tumour of nerve sheath origin characterised histologically by features of seven degeneration and which rarely can grow to a large size. Malignant transformation, though reported, is extremely rare.
