Description
Daiki Idegami and co-authors show how vessel mapping settled the origin of a pelvic mass in a 2026 case report. Masses beside the uterus often mimic fibroids on magnetic scans, yet knowing the true organ of origin shapes the operation. A 54-year-old woman was referred after a routine check found a pelvic mass.
Ultrasound measured an 11.3 cm mass beside the uterus, and magnetic imaging suggested a degenerated fibroid but could not fix its origin. Contrast CT with 3D rebuilding showed the mass fed by two branches of the internal iliac artery and none from the uterine artery, pointing behind the peritoneum. Surgery confirmed those feeders, and tissue study named a schwannoma, a nerve sheath tumor. Her recovery was smooth.
