Abstract EN
Schwannomas origin from Schwann cells sheath and generally are benign, slow-growing, and asymptomatic neoplasms which frequently appear in the head and neck.
Although gastrointestinal schwannoma is really rare, the most affected organ in GI system is the stomach.
Gastric schwannoma forms 0.2% of all gastric tumors.
This neoplasm is always detected as a submucosal mass, the same as other gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Although these tumors have almost the same presentations, they are completely different at therapeutic options and prognoses.
Hence, it is important to distinguish them apart and make an accurate diagnosis to optimize treatment outcomes.
Herein, we report a case of 28-year-old woman with frequent vomiting and abdominal pain caused by 5 × 6 cm schwannoma in the antrum of the stomach.
This is a rare case of gastric outlet obstruction due to a massive schwannoma.
In addition, all other probable submucosal masses will be discussed at different aspects.
