Pelvic tumor
A pelvic tumor is any one of the numerous tumors that occur in the pelvis. Within the pelvis, these tumors may involve specific organs or tend to occupy intra-organ spaces. Tumors found in the presacral space and sacral space are most prevalent in children. Tumors occupying specific organs have a more complex natural history. Different tumors have different symptoms. Some pelvic tumors produce a sensation of heaviness in the pelvic area.
