title: A giant intrasacral schwannoma revealed by lumbosacral pain.
abstract: A case of giant intrasacral schwannoma is reported. This tumour was revealed by a lumbosacral pain without any neurological deficit. It appears that the lesion is surrounded by a dense layer of nucleated cells which resemble immature cells. This corona of young cells could explain the tremendous size of this tumour.
