Solitary rectal schwannomas are rare gastrointestinal stromal tumors. This case highlights a successful excision of a rectal schwannoma, with the patient remaining asymptomatic two years post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Solitary schwannomas are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, accounting for 2%-6% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
  • The stomach is the most common site for gastrointestinal schwannomas, with rectal involvement being infrequent.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old female presented with symptoms of defecation difficulty.
  • A rectal mass was identified on the posterior wall and surgically excised.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the rectal mass as a schwannoma.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis showed positivity for S-100 proteins and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of rectal stromal tumors.
