説明

<jats:p>Schwannomas are neurogenic, benign, well circumscribed tumors arising from schwann cells. Schwann cells are neural originating cell. These are either sporadic or inherited with sporadic being most common. In about 3% of patients, association with neuro-fibromatosis 2 gene is documented. Primary mesenteric schwannoma is extremely rare with establishing a pre-operative diagnosis almost impossible. Imaging modalities including computed tomography as well as MRI fails to make a diagnosis due to the non-specific characteristics. Surgery is curative with histopathological examination and immunostaining establishing the final diagnosis post-operatively. Immunostaining helps in differentiating it from other conditions such as gastro-intestinal stromal tumors as well as malignancies. Rarity of this condition make this case report of a 32-year-old male unique.</jats:p>
