Core Tip

Core tips: We performed a systematic review of the literature searching two types of rare tumors; esophageal and gastric schwannomas. We review its form of presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. We also performed a systematic review trying to gather all case reports and case series in a single paper. We have found 16 cases of esophageal schwannomas and 301 cases of gastric schwannomas in all literature. We also reviewed our institutional experience with the report of 6 cases of gastrointestinal schwannomas, 1 is esophageal and 5 are gastric.
