“…Schwannomas of the diaphragm are particularly rare; including the present case, only 2 pediatric cases have been reported in the literature. The first ever reported case was a 5-year-old girl with a left-sided diaphragmatic neurilemmoma with paraneoplastic features, fingernail clubbing, and painless joint swelling that resolved with resection of the tumor [3]. In our case, the patient presented with new-onset right lower quadrant abdominal pain without evidence of paraneoplastic features.…”

“…Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign, slowgrowing peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) most commonly associated with the extremities in childhood. Heretofore, a single case of schwannoma of the diaphragm has been reported in the pediatric literature [3]. The purposes of this article are to report schwannoma of the diaphragm in a pediatric patient and to review the pediatric literature.…”

“…It has been reported in three out of six cases of neurolemmoma of the diaphragm (Trivedi, 1958) but not previously with a pulmonary tumour of neurogenic origin. Currently two theories, the endocrine and the neurogenic, are advanced to explain the occurrence of the arthropathy.…”

A case of primary intrapulmonary neurogenic sarcoma with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and asbestosis is described. The essential histological features of this rare tumour are detailed, and the five authentic cases previously reported are reviewed. The pathogenesis of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and its occurrence in this case are discussed. After surgical removal of the tumour recurrence appeared in the chest within six months. It responded poorly to radiotherapy, and death from metastases occurred 16 months after operation.

“…We acquired 36 records, from which 20 articles were excluded because of obvious irrelevance, narrowing the list down to 16 case reports. Finally, including our case, 17 cases of primary diaphragmatic schwannoma were collected, and their summary is provided in Table 1 [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Background Schwannomas are nerve sheath tumors that commonly originate from the stomach and small intestine. A primary schwannoma of the diaphragm is rare and does not show any symptoms until it grows to a certain size. Hence, it is extremely rare that it was found at a size that allowed resection under videoscopic surgery. Case presentation A 77-year-old woman was referred to our department for surgical treatment of a tumor located near the gastric fornix. She underwent a routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy 2 years and 7 months prior to the referral. It was suspected that she had a submucosal tumor measuring 10 mm, located in the fornix, and was then referred to her previous physician. During her follow-up, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed that the cystic structure had continued to grow toward the gastric wall, and she was then referred to the endoscopy division of our hospital. She continued to be followed-up, and it was noted that the tumor was gradually increasing in size. Therefore, she requested surgical resection, and was finally referred to our division. Since the tumor was rather small, we planned a laparoscopic surgery. An initial examination during the operation revealed that the tumor was located on the left diaphragm. Since the tumor was relatively small and visibility was good, we decided to continue with the laparoscopic surgery. Partial diaphragmectomy with complete inclusion of the tumor was performed, and the defect of the diaphragm was directly closed by a running suture. Pathological examination revealed a benign schwannoma that had originated from the diaphragm. To support our findings, we also reviewed the scientific literature on diaphragmatic schwannoma cases reported up to April 2020. Conclusions In this extremely rare case, we successfully resected the diaphragmatic schwannoma using laparoscopic surgery.
