“…Stout et al reported that 2 tumors of 48 patients with the primary gastrointestinal schwannoma were found in the lower intestine [4]. In the Japanese literatures, to our knowledge, only 51 cases have been reported in Japan since 1940 [8][9][10][11][12]. The mean age of the 52 patients, including our case, was 58 years, with a range from 12 to 76 years.…”

Gastrointestinal autonomic neural tumour of colon: a case report of rare unusual tumour of colon

et al. 2016

Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumours (GANTs) are uncommon stromal tumors of the intestinal tract. They can involve any part of the gastrointestinal system, but are very rarely seen in the Colon. We report a unique case of Gastrointestinal Autonomic Neural Tumour (GANTs) of colon extending from ascending colon to 2/3rd of the transverse colon. A 50-year-old male patient was admitted with complaint of pain in right side of abdomen. USG revealed f/s/o lymphoma/Carcinoma Colon. CECT Abdomen revealed? Lymphoma? Carcinoma extending from ascending colon to 2/3rd of the transverse colon with Lymphadenopathy. Exploratory Laparotomy was performed followed by Right Hemicolectomy. Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry confirmed the colonic lesion to be a Gastrointestinal Autonomic Neural Tumour. Literature review of the few reported cases has suggested radical surgical excision to be the best approach. Prognosis tends to be favourable after resection.

Diffuse schwannoma involving the entire large bowel with huge extramural development: Report of a case

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Schwannoma of the large bowel is a rare clinical entity, which has reportedly been recognized to arise from one place with a submucosal tumor morphology. We present herein the unique case of a 25-year-old woman who suffered from a schwannoma diffusely involving the entire large intestine. The patient complained of abdominal distension and imaging studies revealed a giant tumor occupying the whole abdomen, but no confirmed preoperative diagnosis could be made. A laparotomy proved the huge tumor detected preoperatively to be the markedly wall-thickened entire large bowel itself due to the diffuse extramural development of a neoplasm, but no other organs were involved. Biopsy specimens from the tumor were histologically diagnosed as benign schwannoma. However, because of the possibility of malignancy, we later performed a total proctocolectomy followed by an ileal J-pouch-anal canal anastomosis. The final pathological diagnosis was also that of a benign schwannoma originating from the large intestine. The patient remains well without recurrence 15 months after surgery. To the best of our knowledge, no such case of a schwannoma in the entire large bowel has yet been reported in the literature, and the pathogenesis of its occurrence remains unknown.
