Abstract

We are presenting a case report of a young lady with history of posterior thigh mass. On radiological examination, we found bony lesion with massive soft tissue extension. These findings had similarities to aggressive bone sarcoma on MRI. Pathological examination revealed intraosseous Schwannoma. After literature review, we concluded that diagnosis is mainly missed because of the rarity of the disease and intraosseous schwannoma should be included in differential diagnosis of benign looking bone lesions.
