  • Title: Malignant intestinal schwannoma. Case report.
    Author: Hansen D, Pedersen A, Pedersen KM.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1990 Oct; 156(10):729-32. PubMed ID: 2264432.
    Abstract:
    Malignant schwannoma of the small intestine is rare and diagnosis often late. Histologic distinction from fibrosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma may require electron microscopy. The primary treatment is surgical. Close postoperative observation is recommended because of the tendency to recurrence. Remission after chemotherapy has been reported, but without controlled studies. The 5-year survival rate is unknown. Two cases are presented.
