Abstract:
A case history of a patient showing signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is described. Extensive analysis showed that the bleeding was due to a malignant Schwannoma of the stomach with several lymph node metastases. The patient was operated on and is doing well 5 years after surgery. The literature on this rare malignant tumour is reviewed.
