[Gastric Schwannoma: a case report and literature review].
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a 49-year old male with diagnosis of gastric schwannoma who underwent subtotal gastrectomy. We describe clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of these tumors and performed an extensive literature review. Gastric schwannomas are very rare tumors but they should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of more common mesenchimal neoplasms like gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The treatment of choice is surgical resection and their prognosis is very favourable.
