Abstract
An angioleiomyoma adjacent to the sciatic nerve was responsible for an 11-year history
of pain and dysfunction in the sciatic nerve distribution, which required numerous
therapeutic procedures and intermittent use of narcotic analgesics. Diagnosis was
finally made when results of a sciatic nerve block suggested possible mechanical compression
of the nerve and computed tomography examination of the pelvis was extended further
caudad than usual, demonstrating the tumor adjacent to the sciatic nerve near the
ischial tuberosity. Only one previous case of nerve dysfunction due to impingement
by an angioleiomyoma has been reported.
