Core Tip
Core tip: To date, only 9 cases of mesenteric schwannomas have been reported in the English literature; an ossified mesenteric schwannoma has not been reported. In the present study, we present the first giant ossified benign mesenteric schwannoma. It was challenging to determine the location and obtain a precise diagnosis of the mesenteric schwannoma prior to surgery. We completely resected the mesenteric schwannoma by laparotomy. In this paper, a literature review was conducted to deepen our understanding of mesenteric schwannomas.
