ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infection (UTI) affects mostly women. Any condition that allows stasis or urinary obstruction predisposes to the development of UTI. The authors report the case of a 37-year-old woman with a recurrent UTI who presented with right lumbar pain irradiating to homolateral inguinal regionand genito-urinary symptoms, and a pelvic extensive lesion was shown in the abdominal-pelvic CT in apparent relationship with L5 nerve root compatible with a Schwannoma. Schwannomas are usually benign tumors that rarely present malignant transformation. Repetitive UTIs may be a consequence of the mass effect or of neurological cause secondary to intraspinal schwannomas that cause urinary retention. Local recurrence or malignant change is possible, so complete tumor resection is important. (AU)
