  • Title: Gastrointestinal schwannomas: CT features with clinicopathologic correlation.
    Author: Levy AD, Quiles AM, Miettinen M, Sobin LH.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2005 Mar; 184(3):797-802. PubMed ID: 15728600.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe the CT features of gastrointestinal schwannomas with clinicopathologic correlation. CONCLUSION: Gastrointestinal schwannomas are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms that are uniquely different tumors from their soft-tissue and central nervous system counterparts. They are homogeneously attenuating, well-defined, mural masses on CT. The lack of low-attenuation hemorrhage, necrosis, and degeneration within the tumor may help distinguish these tumors from gastrointestinal stromal tumors on CT.
