Abstract: Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are the most common type of primary mesenchymal tumour within the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. They are usually derived from a mutation of the KIT or PDGFRA genes. The most common sites of GISTs are the stomach and small intestine. Presentation may include local symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, GI bleeding and abdominal pain. Approximately 25% of GISTs are found incidentally during radiological investigations and 0.7% of resected specimens in bariatric proce… Show more

As bariatric surgeries (BS) increase, more incidental findings are liable to be discovered. Incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) during BS can be found in around 0.7% of the cases. In this article, we have performed a systematic review of the literature and added our data to those of the review to review a conceptual treatment strategy to both improve patient outcomes and decrease the risk of overall cancer. With the rise of new bariatric techniques, we have proposed a new classification to BS to enhance our description of the treatment strategy. Graphical Abstract

The spectrum for gastrointestinal tract mesenchymal tumours includes leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and schwannomas. Schwannomas (also known as neuroma, neurilemmomas or neurinomas of Verocay) are well-known slow-growing, benign neoplasms that originate from nerve plexuses within a Schwann cell sheath. They can arise anywhere along the course of the peripheral nerve and are frequently reported around the head and neck, brachial plexus and along the gastrointestinal tract. Usually, these tumours are detected as solitary; however, they can occur at multiple sites around the body. Schwannomatosis (multiple schwannomas) is usually associated with neurofibromatosis type 2; the pathogenesis is triggered by mutations of the neurofibromatosis 2 tumour suppressor gene resulting in a loss of its function. Solitary gastric schwannomas are rare lesions that arise from the nerve plexus of the gastric wall. Frequently they are detected incidentally or may present with nonspecific abdominal pain or bleeding. This paper reports the case of a 79-year-old patient diagnosed with gastric schwannoma after presenting with abdominal pain. Gastric schwannomas should be taken into consideration while making a differential diagnosis of lesions that are gastric mesenchymal tumours, which span a broad spectrum. Gastric schwannomas are typically benign, considerably less common than gastric GISTs, and have an excellent prognosis following excision.
