Schwannoma is a type of peripheral nerve sheath tumor that is often found in the head and neck. Schwannomas in the digestive system, particularly the colon and rectum, are exceptionally rare, and they are mostly non-malignant and asymptomatic although sometimes patients can present with symptoms similar to those observed in patients with other gastrointestinal tumors like abdominal pain, fullness, nausea, vomiting, and change in bowel habits. For diagnosis and treatment, surgical resection along with biopsy is the gold standard. In this paper, we describe a rare case of sigmoid schwannoma that was successfully treated in our department by surgical resection.
神经鞘瘤是一种周围神经鞘膜肿瘤,常见于头颈部。消化系统中的神经鞘瘤,尤其是结肠和直肠的神经鞘瘤极为罕见,大多为非恶性且无症状,不过有时患者会出现类似于其他胃肠道肿瘤患者的症状,如腹痛、饱胀感、恶心、呕吐以及排便习惯改变。对于诊断和治疗,手术切除并活检是金标准。在本文中,我们描述了一例罕见的乙状结肠神经鞘瘤病例,该病例在我们科室通过手术切除成功治愈。
