Abstract | | | Cited by 1 Articles | Schwannomas, which arise from the Schwann cells of the neural plexus on the gastric wall, are slow-growing, generally asymptomatic and frequently benign neoplasms. Gastric schwannomas account for only 0.2% of all gastric tumors. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) should firstly be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of submucosal mass lesions originating from the gastric wall. The aim of this study was to present the case of a patient who had presented with anemia symptoms, received laparoscopic resection because of gastric submucosal mass lesion, and diagnosed as gastric schwannoma.
Key words: Gastric Schwannoma; Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors; Laparoscopy.
