An individual with gastric schwannoma with pathologically malignant potential surviving two years after...

Schwannomas are a kind of neurogenic tumor. They are generally benign and originate primarily from the central and peripheral nerve. They rarely develop in the gastrointestinal tract: gastric schwannomas make up 0.2% of gastric neoplasms. A malignant gastric schwannoma is a comparatively rare tumor, a few cases have been reported until now. We present the case of a 34-year-old male patient diagnosed during medical examination. The patient was treated with surgical resection, and 2 years passed without recurrence.
