Abstract:
Schwannomas are tumors comprised of schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and infrequently present in the gastrointestinal tract. Transverse colon schwannomas are an even more rare subtype of gastrointestinal schwannomas. This study presents the case of a transverse colon schwannoma, in addition to presenting a literature review.
