Abstract
The incidence of small bowel schwannomas is extremely low. In the current literature, we found just a few reported small intestine schwannomas that were located in the duodenum, jejunum, or ileum. This study reports a surprising finding of a relatively large size ileal schwannoma in a patient whose preoperative magnetic resonance imaging described a tumour in the lesser pelvis probably derived from the right adnexa. Pfannenstiel incision was made by the gynaecology team, which found a large mass lesion arising from the small intestine and occupying nearly the entire lesser pelvis. The general surgeon was invited, and pathology was successfully managed by segmental resection of the small bowel with primary end-to-end anastomosis. The histopathology study reported a submucosal tumour composed of S-100 protein-positive spindle cells, and the diagnosis of ileal schwannoma was made. The possibility of intestinal neoplasms, including schwannomas, might be contemplated in the differential diagnosis of any pelvic mass lesions. A detailed histology study and immunohistochemical stain are required for the final diagnosis of intestinal schwannomas and to rule out malignant changes, which are extremely important for the further management of patients. To the best knowledge, our case is one of the biggest intestinal schwannomas reported in the current literature.

Front Oncol 2023; 13:1243300. [PMID: 38044988 PMCID: PMC10691544 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1243300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the value of histogram analysis based on iodine-based material decomposition (IMD) images obtained through dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to differentiate gastric schwannoma (GS) from gastric stromal tumor (GST) (≤5 cm) preoperatively. Methods From January 2015 to January 2023, 15 patients with GS and 30 patients with GST (≤5 cm) who underwent biphasic contrast-enhanced scans using DECT were enrolled in this study. For each tumor, we reconstructed IMD images at the arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP). Nine histogram parameters were automatically extracted and selected using MaZda software based on the IMD of AP and VP, respectively, including mean, 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentile of the iodine concentration value (Perc.01, Perc.10, Perc.50, Perc.90, and Perc.99), variance, skewness, and kurtosis. The extracted IMD histogram parameters were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The optimal IMD histogram parameters were selected using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results Among the IMD histogram parameters of AP, the mean, Perc.50, Perc.90, Perc.99, variance, and skewness of the GS group were lower than that of the GST group (all P < 0.05). Among the IMD histogram parameters of VP, Perc.90, Perc.99, and the variance of the GS group was lower than those of the GST group (all P < 0.05). The ROC analysis showed that Perc.99 (AP) generated the best diagnostic performance with the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity being 0.960, 86.67%, and 93.33%, respectively, when using 71.00 as the optimal threshold. Conclusion Histogram analysis based on IMD images obtained through DECT holds promise as a valuable tool for the preoperative distinction between GS and GST (≤5 cm).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Laparoscopic resection has been reported as effective and safe for gastric schwannoma (GS) in the form of case reports. However, study on laparoscopic surgery in patients with GS larger than 30 mm has been rarely reported. To this end, the present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection for the treatment of GS larger than 30 mm and its long-term outcomes. METHODS This is a retrospective case series study of patients with GS larger than 30 mm who underwent laparoscopic resection at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2020. Clinical pathology, surgical and follow-up data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 10 patients with a mean age of 51.6 years were included. Seven tumors were located in gastric body, 2 in antrum and 1 in fundus. Laparoscopic gastric wedge resection was performed in 7 patients, while laparoscopic gastric local resection was performed in 3 patients. All patients achieved complete resection. The mean operation time was 112.6 ± 34.3 min, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 13.8 ± 5.1 days. Postoperative gastroplegia occurred in 2 patients and was treated with conservative therapy. No recurrence, metastasis or residue was found during the follow-up of mean 45.1 months. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic resection is a safe and effective method for treating GS larger than 30 mm with favorable long-term follow-up outcomes. Laparoscopic resection may be considered as the first-line treatment for GS larger than 30 mm.

Development of a CT image analysis-based scoring system to differentiate gastric schwannomas from gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1057979. [PMID: 37448513 PMCID: PMC10338089 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1057979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To develop a point-based scoring system (PSS) based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) qualitative and quantitative features to differentiate gastric schwannomas (GSs) from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Methods This retrospective study included 51 consecutive GS patients and 147 GIST patients. Clinical and CT features of the tumors were collected and compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses using the stepwise forward method were used to determine the risk factors for GSs and create a PSS. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of PSS. Results The CT attenuation value of tumors in venous phase images, tumor-to-spleen ratio in venous phase images, tumor location, growth pattern, and tumor surface ulceration were identified as predictors for GSs and were assigned scores based on the PSS. Within the PSS, GS prediction probability ranged from 0.60% to 100% and increased as the total risk scores increased. The AUC of PSS in differentiating GSs from GISTs was 0.915 (95% CI: 0.874-0.957) with a total cutoff score of 3.0, accuracy of 0.848, sensitivity of 0.843, and specificity of 0.850. Conclusions The PSS of both qualitative and quantitative CT features can provide an easy tool for radiologists to successfully differentiate GS from GIST prior to surgery.

Abstract
Introduction Schwannomas are tumors arising from Schwan cells of the neural sheath, which rarely occur in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes of gastrointestinal schwannomas (GISs). Methods Patients who were diagnosed with GISs in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2021 were selected. Data about demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, treatment methods and outcomes, pathological results, and follow-up results were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results A total of 78 patients with 79 GISs were included, the female-to-male ratio was 55:23, and the average age was 52.12 ± 12.26 years. One-third (26/78) of the patients were asymptomatic. A total of 79 GISs were removed, and the average size was 3.63 ± 2.03 cm (range, 0.3-10 cm). As for tumor location, 54 GISs were located in the stomach, 14 in the esophagus, 2 in the duodenum, 6 in the colorectum (4 in the colon and 2 in the rectum), and the other 3 in the small intestine. A total of 23 and 55 patients underwent endoscopic and surgical resections, respectively. Compared with surgical resection, endoscopic resection is associated with a smaller diameter, lower cost, and shorter hospital stay. Pathological results revealed that S100 was positive in all the GISs. No recurrence was noticed during a median follow-up of 45 months (range, 6-148 months). Conclusion GISs are rare gastrointestinal tumors with favorable prognoses, which are most commonly seen in the stomach and diagnosed by pathological findings with immunohistochemical staining. Surgical resection remains the standard method for removing GISs, while endoscopic resection may serve as an alternative method for selected patients with GISs and may be attempted in GISs with a diameter of <3 cm and no signs of malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and prognosis of patients with gastric schwannoma (GS). METHODS We collected the clinical data of all patients pathologically diagnosed with GS in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from May 2012 to October 2021. RESULTS A total of 26 cases of GS were analyzed clinicopathologically, where the sizes of the tumor were found to be in the range of 1-6 cm (mean: 3.16 cm, median: 3.05 cm). A computed tomography (CT) scan analysis revealed that most masses were either moderately progressive or uniformly enhanced. According to ultrasound gastroscopy results, most of them were hypoechoic masses. There were 23 cases of surgery and three cases of endoscopic submucosal tumor dissection. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that S100 was positive in 26 patients, immunomarker SOX10 was positive in five, whereas CD34, CD117, and SMA were negative in most patients. CK (Pan), Dog-1, and Desmin were also found negative. All 26 cases were followed up after the conclusion of the study where no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was observed. CONCLUSIONS GS is a unique form of peripheral schwannoma. The diagnosis of this type of tumor depends on the pathology and immunohistochemistry of the individual. The key to treating this type of tumor is endoscopy and surgery. Follow up and related literature review showed that GS was a benign tumor with little possibility of malignant transformation.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tumors of colon and rectum other than adenocarcinomas represent a neglected issue from clinical and laboratory points of view because of their rarity. In this review, we summarize and describe the rare histologic entities occurring in colon and rectum. Clinical and pathologic characteristics, prognostic behavior, treatments, and altered genes are reported to provide readers with a paramount and comparative perspective. In relation to this, we propose that improvements in registries and multidisciplinary research are warranted to ameliorate their management. Abstract The most frequent form of colorectal cancer is represented by adenocarcinoma being about 98% of tumor histological types. However, other rare histotypes can be found in colon and rectum (adenosquamous, goblet cell adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, medullary carcinoma, melanoma, mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, plasmacytoma, signet ring, squamous tumors). Altogether, these forms account for less than 2% of colorectal tumors. There are no specific diagnostic or therapeutic recommended approaches and most of the information available from literature derives from small and retrospective clinical series. In the present study, we provide a paramount and updated view on clinical and biologic characteristics of rare colorectal tumors.

A radiologic diagnostic scoring model based on CT features for differentiating gastric schwannoma from gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Am J Cancer Res 2022; 12:303-314. [PMID: 35141019 PMCID: PMC8822295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023] Open
Abstract
We aimed to further explore the CT features of gastric schwannoma (GS), propose and validate a convenient diagnostic scoring system to distinguish GS from gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) preoperatively. 170 patients with submucosal tumors pathologically confirmed (GS n=35; gastric GISTs n=135) from Hospital 1 were analyzed retrospectively as the training cohort, and 72 patients (GS=11; gastric GISTs=61) from Hospital 2 were enrolled as the validation cohort. We searched for significant CT imaging characteristics and constructed the scoring system via binary logistic regression and converted regression coefficients to weighted scores. The ROC curves, AUCs and calibration tests were carried out to evaluate the scoring models in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. For convenient assessment, the system was further divided into four score ranges and their diagnostic probability of GS was calculated respectively. Four CT imaging characteristics were ultimately enrolled in this scoring system, including transverse position (2 points), location (5 points), perilesional lymph nodes (6 points) and pattern of enhancement (2 points). The AUC of the scoring model in the training cohort were 0.873 (95% CI, 0.816-0.929) and the cutoff point was 6 points. In the validation cohort, the AUC was 0.898 (95% CI, 0.804-0.957) and the cutoff value was 5 points. Four score ranges were as follows: 0-3 points for very low probability of GS, 4-7 points for low probability; 8-9 points for middle probability; 10-15 points for very high probability. A convenient scoring model to preoperatively discriminate GS from gastric GISTs was finally proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Schwannomas, also known as neurinomas, are tumors that derive from Schwann cells. Gastrointestinal schwannomas are extremely rare, but the stomach is the most common site. Gastric schwannomas are usually asymptomatic. Endoscopy and imaging modalities might offer useful preliminary diagnostic information. However, to diagnose schwannoma, the immunohistochemical positivity for S-100 protein is essential, whereas CD117, CD34, SMA, desmin, and DOG-1 are negative.
CASE SUMMARY A 45-year-old female was found to have a gastric mass during a medical examination, which was diagnosed as a gastric schwannoma. We performed endoscopic full-thickness resection and endoscopic purse-string suture. Pathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of gastric schwannoma through the positivity of S-100 protein. Furthermore, to exclude the misdiagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, we performed a mutational detection of the c-Kit and PDGFRA genes. Postoperative follow-up revealed that the patient recovered well.
CONCLUSION Immunohistochemical staining is essential for the diagnosis of schwannoma. Endoscopic full-thickness resection is an effective treatment method for gastric schwannoma.
