Abstract

ObjectiveTo report a case of sciatic endometriosis diagnosed by computerized tomography (CT)-guided biopsy in combination with CD10 immunohistochemical staining.DesignCase report.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)A 33-year-old Japanese woman complaining of right-sided sciatica.Intervention(s)Transgluteal computerized tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsy of a mass in the course of the right sciatic nerve was conducted for a histologic diagnosis.Main outcome measure(s)Histologic study with hematoxylin and eosin staining and CD10 immunohistochemical staining was performed.Result(s)Computerized tomography-guided biopsy was performed without any complication. CD10 staining distinguished endometrial stromal cells.Conclusion(s)Computerized tomography-guided biopsy followed by CD10 immunohistochemical staining is a minimally invasive procedure for accurate diagnosis of sciatic endometriosis.
