Gastric Schwannoma: a case report
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract Gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors are a group of tumors originating from the mesenchymal stem cells of the GI tract. Digestive tract Schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors which occur most frequently in the stomach. We report a 56-yearold woman who was examined endoscopically for dyspepsia which she had suffered from since 3 years ago. Around gastric antral mass was seen. Surgical resection was recommended. The pathological examination revealed a spindle cell tumor that was strongly positive for S-100 protein stain and non-reactive for other markers. The literature is reviewed.

Gastric Schwannoma: A Case Report
Schwannomas are generally benign, slow growing tumors. They are rarely observed in the gastrointestinal tract with the most common site being the stomach. These tumors are usually asymptomatic. The preoperative diagnosis via endoscopy is a challenging issue due to the difficulty of differentiation from other submucosal tumors. A 54-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain persisting for th...

Abstract The Intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported cases . We describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled seizures despite of medical therapy. On brain CT scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. On brain MRI the lesion was hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T...

Schwannoma is a rare benign neural neoplasm derived from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. Schwannoma accounts for 25% to 48% of all neoplasm cases in the head and neck region. Oral Schwannoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor comprising of 1% of all Schwannomas. Tongue is the most common location for oral schwannoma. Occurrence of gingival schwannoma is very rare and less than 10 ca...

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 gastrointe...
