Abstract:
The simultaneous occurrence of an adenocarcinoma and schwannoma is extremely rare in the stomach, and only one such case has been previously reported, which presented as two separate masses. Indeed, the collision of these tumors has never been reported. We report the case of a 61-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with the synchronous development of a schwannoma and advanced mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach, in which the carcinoma cells focally invaded the schwannoma.
