Colonic Mucosal Schwann Cell Hamartoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Colonic mucosal Schwann cell hamartoma is an extremely rare entity, presenting as small colonic polyp, associating with no clinical symptoms and harboring no clinical significance. However, its mimics, such as GI neurofibroma/neurofibromatosis, ganglioneuroma, etc. are possible GI manifestations of hereditary syndromes and therefore are integral part of the patient workup and disease diagnosis. Here we report a case of mucosal Schwann cell hamartoma, with description of its morphology and immunophenotype. We also reviewed literature and differentially described some important mimics.

Hamartoma of the breast is a rare benign breast lesion which is unfamiliar to most clinicians, although the mammographic features are usually characteristic. Hamartomas are composed of ducts, lobules, fat and fibrous tissue. These benign lesions are likely to be increasingly diagnosed because of routine screening and hence clinical awareness is paramount to prevent these lesions from being ...
