Abstract
Intranodal schawnomas are extremely rare. Just a few cases have been described before. Clinical presentation comprises not only symptomatic mass in several anatomical body parts, but also, they can be found during analysis of surgical specimens resected for other reasons. The report is based on the case of an 80-year-old patient who underwent to right hemicolectomy for an adenocarcinoma. The histopathologic analysis revealed one mesenteric intranodal schwannoma in the surgical specimen. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry with positive result for vimentin and S100 protein. Less than 12 cases have been reported in the literature before. The findings pointed out our patient as, one of these few reported with such diagnosis.
