Author ProfileAbstract
Schwannomas are benign tumors which rarely arise in the soft tissues of
the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a gastrointestinal
schwannoma in a 50-years-old female with lower gastrointestinal
bleeding. A colonoscopy described a 4cm ulcerated polypoid mass in the
descending colon. The histopathological diagnosis was a schwannoma.
