ABSTRACT
Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are characteristically benign, slow growing neoplasms originating from Schwann cell sheath. Gastrointestinal schwannomas are very rare with stomach being the most affected organ representing approximately 0.2% of all gastric tumours. Malignant transformation is rarely reported in these tumors and complete surgical resection with negative margins is the recommended treatment. Herein, we report our experience of 2 cases of gastric submucosal spindle cell tumour (SMT), which were preoperatively assumed to be as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), however postoperatively confirmed as schwannoma on immunohistochemical examination.
