Abstract
This case report presents a patient with a giant gluteal plexiform neurofibroma and a concurrent pheochromocytoma and anterolateral sacral meningocele. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the tumors. The case highlights the challenges and considerations involved in managing large gluteal tumors, particularly when associated with other significant anomalies such as meningocele and pheochromocytoma. The outcome demonstrates the efficacy of a carefully planned surgical approach, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in complex cases to achieve favorable results.
