Abstract

Schwannomas are rare benign tumors that arise from schwann cells of the nerve sheath. These tumors represent 0.4 to 1% tract of all mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract. The most common gastrointestinal site is the stomach. Duodenal schwannomas are extremely uncommon and poorly documented. In this case, we report the fatal outcome of a 52-year-old woman with unresectable duodenal schwannoma treated with adriamycin based chemotherapy.
