Abstract:
Esophageal schwannomas are rare, typically benign tumors arising from nerve sheath cells. Due to their low incidence, existing knowledge is largely based on individual case reports, limiting comprehensive understanding of their clinical behavior and optimal management. This case highlights diagnostic and surgical considerations in a 32-year-old male initially diagnosed with lymphoma. It is the first documented case in the country, further consolidating the rarity of the condition and illustrating diagnostic complexities through interdisciplinary management.
