Digestive tract schwannomas (DTS) are rare tumors. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for these benign mesenchymal tumors, which can present with varied symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Digestive tract schwannomas (DTS) are uncommon benign mesenchymal tumors.
  • Typically affect females aged 30-60.
  • Often present with gastrointestinal bleeding or abdominal pain.

Observation:

  • Retrospective review of two DTS cases.
  • One gastric schwannoma with acute upper GI bleeding.
  • One mesenteric schwannoma with chronic right iliac fossa pain.
  • Both patients underwent successful surgical resection.

Findings:

  • Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed DTS diagnosis.
  • DTS commonly occur in the stomach.
  • While often asymptomatic, DTS can manifest with diverse clinical symptoms.

Implications:

  • Definitive diagnosis relies on immunohistochemistry.
  • Surgical resection remains the primary treatment modality for DTS.
  • Understanding variable presentations is key for timely diagnosis and management.
