Abstract | Abstract: Diagnosing buttock pain is a challenge due to complex anatomy and multiple causes. Potential pathologies range from common and benign to rare and life-threatening. Common causes for buttock pain include referred pain from the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint, hamstring origin tendinopathy, myofascial pain, ischiogluteal bursitis, gluteal pathology, and piriformis syndrome. Rarer causes include malignancy, bone infection, vascular anomalies, and spondyloarthropathies. Other conditions may be present concurrently in the lumbar and gluteal area, which can cloud the clinical picture. Correct diagnosis and early treatment may improve quality of life by providing a targetable reason for their distress, improving pain, and allowing the patient to get back to their activities of daily living. When treating a patient with buttock pain, it is essential to reevaluate the diagnosis when symptoms fail to improve despite appropriate intervention.Here, we discuss a case of a peripheral nerve sheath tumor found in the left gluteus medius muscle of a patient that caused persistent, debilitating buttock pain. After years of treatment for piriformis syndrome and possible spinous causes, the patient was ultimately diagnosed with a peripheral nerve sheath tumor through magnetic resonance imaging with contrast. Peripheral nerve sheath tumors are a diverse group of mostly benign tumors that can occur sporadically or associated with certain disease processes. These tumors usually present with pain, a soft tissue mass, or focal neurological deficits. Upon removal of the tumor, her gluteal pain completely resolved. |
