| Abstract | Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are characteristically benign, slow growing neoplasms originating from Schwann cell sheath. Gastrointestinal schwannomas are very rare with stomach being the most affected organ representing approximately 0.2% of all gastric tumours. Malignant transformation is rarely reported in these tumors and complete surgical resection with negative margins is the recommended treatment. Herein, we report our experience of 2 cases of gastric submucosal spindle cell tumour (SMT), which were preoperatively assumed to be as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), however postoperatively confirmed as schwannoma on immunohistochemical examination. |
