A Rare Duodenal Subepithelial Tumor: Duodenal Schwannoma.

We report a case of duodenal schwannoma found incidentally during a health check-up endoscopy. On endoscopic ultrasonography, this tumor was suspected as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor; therefore, the patient underwent laparoscopic wedge resection of the tumor. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed that the duodenal lesion was a benign schwannoma. PMID: 29764009 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
