Colonic schwannomas are rare gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors, and only a limited number of cases has been reported. The occurrence of these tumors is less common in the large intestine than in the stomach. The present study reports a case of colonic schwannoma in a 62-year-old female patient with no specific symptoms. The patient was diagnosed with a mass in the ascending colon by colonoscopy and abdominal computed tomography scanning. A right hemicolectomy was performed. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was ascending schwannoma. This case is noteworthy as colonic schwannomas are rare and are typically treated as colon cancer. No recurrence of the lesion was observed after 24 months of follow-up.
结肠神经鞘瘤是罕见的胃肠道间质瘤，仅有少数病例报道。这些肿瘤在大肠的发生率低于胃。本研究报告了一例62岁无症状女性患者的结肠神经鞘瘤病例。患者经结肠镜检查及腹部计算机断层扫描诊断为升结肠肿物。行右半结肠切除术。术后病理诊断为升结肠神经鞘瘤。该病例值得关注，因为结肠神经鞘瘤罕见，且通常被当作结肠癌治疗。随访24个月未观察到病变复发。
