Abstract

Documentation of three-dimensional (3D) images of a giant sacral schwannoma with intrapelvic expansion. Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan. 3D computed tomography (3D CT) showed a destructed bony region clearly. 3D CT angiography clarified the positional relationship between tumor and iliac arteries.
