Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are benign tumours arising from the sheath of peripheral nerves in the soft tissues of head, neck, extremities, mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Schwannomas are relatively slow-growing and mostly benign. Primary mesenteric schwannoma is extremely rare. In this report, we describe a 45-year-old female who presented with a lump in the abdomen caused by a benign schwannoma originating from the mesentery of the small bowel, which was treated with surgical resection and marsupialization of the remnant capsule on the posterior side. A high grade of suspicion is required to diagnose such a tumour. Ultrasonography is generally inconclusive, but histopathological examination can confirm diagnosis. The patient was followed up for six months without evidence of disease recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
