Schwannomas are mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the stomach. They originate in Schwann cells or cells of the peripheral sheath of the Meissner and Auerbach plexus nerves. They are not very symptomatic, and the clinic is given by the growth, which generates compressive symptoms, or by elements of upper digestive hemorrhage, when the mucosa is ulcerated.
The study algorithm includes upper endoscopy, echoendoscopy, computed tomography and contrasting digestive transit.
The treatment is surgical, and the anatomopathological analysis of the piece, with the resource of immunohistochemistry, allows to confirm the diagnosis. The prognosis is excellent, since they are generally benign.
