CASE REPORT
Rectal schwannoma on endoscopic polypectomy
Summary
Conventional gastrointestinal schwannomas are rare, most frequently occurring in the stomach while colorectal locations are uncommon and only a small number of cases have been reported. We are reporting this case as it is a very rare tumour at a very rare location. Though schwannomas are considered benign neoplasms, rare cases of malignant schwannoma have been reported. Owing to the uncertainty of the prognosis, our patient is under long-term endoscopic surveillance.
