| Popis: | Schwannomas are mostly benign tumors that originate from Schwann cells and are rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Our patient is a 65-year-old female who was found to have a 1.5 cm lesion at the gastroesophageal junction, which was clipped and excised on endoscopy. Histologic examination demonstrated an ancient schwannoma. Two years afterward, she presented to our clinic for a large type III paraesophageal hernia. We took her to the operating room for a laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair and Nissen fundoplication. We performed an upper endoscopy during the case and found no recurrence of the ancient schwannoma. The case progressed well without complications. She was discharged on postoperative day 1 after tolerating a pureed diet and reported no issues in follow-up. In summary, we demonstrate a successful surgical outcome in a patient who had undergone resection of this rare tumor 2 years prior to her surgery. |
