Approximately half of MPNSTs develop in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a hereditary disease. MPNSTs occur mainly in the trunk, proximal extremities, and neck, but can on rare occasion arise in or near the gastrointestinal tract, and intestinal complications have been reported. We describe herein a case with resection of an MPNST arising in the pelvic region.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 51-year-old woman had undergone repeated resections for systemic neurofibrosis associated with NF1. This time, a pelvic tumor was noted on follow-up positron emission tomography computed tomography (CT). She presented with slowly progressive radiating pain in the lower extremities and was referred to our hospital for tumor resection. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a 75\u2009\u00d7\u200958-mm mass in the right greater sciatic foramen directly below a 24\u2009\u00d7\u200928-mm mass. Open pelvic tumor resection was performed for pelvic neurofibroma. The obturator nerve was identified lateral to the main tumor and the sciatic nerve was identified dorsally, then dissection was performed. The closed nerve was spared, while the sciatic nerve was partially dissected and the two tumors were removed. Both tumors were elastic and hard. Pathologic findings were MPNST for the large specimen and neurofibroma with atypia for the small specimen. The patient developed temporary postoperative ileus, but is generally doing well and is currently free of recurrence or radiating pain. The patient is at high risk of recurrence and close monitoring should be continued.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We encountered a rare case of MPNST.
