Schwannoma represents 1% of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and parts 2-8% mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal. In patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 there gastrointestinal involvement in 10-25% of cases including: neurofibroma solitary leiomyoma and rarely plexiform neurofibroma. More and more frequently diagnosed by immunohistochemical stains. The average lesion size is 6-7 cm (range, 0.5 to 14 cm). They occur most often in the stomach (60-70% of cases), followed by colorectal, being exceptional in the small intestine and esophagus
Slide 3-

Gastric Represent 0.2% of gastric tumors, 4% of all benign gastric tumors with peak incidence between the fourth and fifth decade of life. It is usually asymptomatic, with incidental finding, although they are sometimes shaped symptomatic gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Gastrointestinal schwannomas are distinctly different neoplasms from conventional soft-tissue and central nervous system schwannomas, some of which may be associated with neurofibromatosis 2. Most injuries TC are hypodense, well defined and standardized with homogeneous enhancement contrast, endoscopy can be checked exophytic nature of the injury. For RM, most of the lesions are iso/ hypointense on T1-weighted sequences and hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences. The discrepancy in signal intensity between our T2-weight-ed images and those described in literature might be caused by the presence of melanin in the schwannoma.

Pancreatic schwannoma is extremely rare with similar incidence in both genders. Pancreatic schwannoma is a slowly growing, encapsulated, benign neoplasm that typically arises in the peripheral epineurium of either the sympathetic or parasympathetic autonomic fibers or branches of vagus nerve that extend to the pancreas. Pancreatic schwannomas most frequently involve the pancreas head (40%), followed by body (21%), neck (6%), tail (15%), and uncinate process (13%), respectively. Patients with pancreatic schwannoma are usually asymptomatic, or have abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Weight loss and jaundice may sometimes be seen. CT or MRI can help distinguish if a lesion is solid or cystic, can define the anatomic location of the lesion, delineate its relation to mesenteric vessels, and determine the lesion causes pancreatic duct dilation. The features of pancreatic schwannomas on CT scan include low-density and/or cystic degenerative areas. MR imaging usually shows hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images but like the CT features, these findings are nonspecific. Two-thirds of pancreatic schwannomas undergo degenerative changes such as cyst formation, necrosis, calcification, and hemorrhage, and these changes can mimic pancreatic cystic tumors.

C, D On pathology, the mass showed cystic degeneration with hemorrhage (C H&E stain ×4) and was positive for S100 on immunohistostain (×10).

A–C There is a well-circumscribed low-density solid mass (arrows) in the region of pancreas head/neck with central cystic degeneration/necrosis on arterial phase (A) and venous phase (B, C). Note vascularity in the solid portion of the mass seen inferiorly and mild upstream pancreatic duct dilation (C).

Schwannomas that arise in the adrenal medulla are very rare. Often, schwannomas of the retroperitoneum, especially in the juxta-adrenal space, can be misdiagnosed as they can mimic more common primary adrenal lesions. Studies have shown that approximately 0.5% to 5% of schwannomas are retroperitoneal, constituting <0.2% of adrenal incidental tumors. Most of the patients do not have any symptoms and delayed diagnosis results in a significant size at the time of diagnosis. Both CT and MRI are nonspecific in diagnosis of adrenal schwannomas. Adrenal schwannomas often show septa and cystic change. Cystic changes are rare in other retroperitoneal tumors. Characteristic enhancement patterns of primary adrenal schwannomas are mild heterogeneous enhancement on arterial phase and progressive enhancement during the portal venous and equilibrium phases, which are likely due to variable degree of tumor cellularity or degenerative changes such as cystic degeneration, necrosis, and hemorrhage. Minimal contrast enhancement may be seen in neoplasms with low cellularity and edema. On MRI, schwannomas exhibit low-signal intensity on T1-weighted images and heterogeneous high-signal intensity on T2-weighted images
