Sumario:Schwannomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare. Herein, we report a case of schwannoma originating from the small intestine. A 78-year-old woman underwent medical follow-up after surgery for bladder cancer, and a mass in the upper part of the pelvis was revealed by abdominal CT. With the diagnosis of a submucosal tumor of the small intestine, she underwent partial intestinal resection. The submucosal tumor was pathologically composed of S100-positive spindle cells and diagnosed as schwannoma. We report this case of rare schwannoma of the small intestine and review the literature.
