Schawannoma aka neurilemmoma are encapsulated tumour which arise from the nerve sheaths. Pre sacral tumours are rare tumors which arise from the pre sacral space. It can be diagnosed with modality like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sometime ultrasonography findings for broad ligament fibroid can mimic with neurofibroma. Patient with complaint of pain in abdomen should be evaluated. Surgical removal is treatment of choice for that.
