Abstract
Introduction: Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing, Mesenchymal Tumors (MT) that originate in the Schwann cells of the nerves of the Meiisner and Auebarch plexuses. Although they can appear in any location, they are rare in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Case report: Our case is the presentation of a gastric Schawnnoma with favorable evolution and a good prognosis after a complete resection. Conclusion: It is relevant to present this to keep it in mind in the differential diagnosis of subepithelial gastric tumors.
