Malignant schwannoma arising in the retroperitoneum is rare. A 68‐year‐old man underwent transsacral resection for an intrapelvic tumor which proved to be a malignant schwannoma. The transsacral approach is simple and effective, and should be considered for primary management of retrovesicular and retroprostatic tumors.
