A Case of Laparoscopically Resected Primary Mesenteric Schwannoma

Key Points

• The tumor was successfully excised laparoscopically, indicating a minimally invasive approach may be viable for similar cases.
• Notable findings included the tumor's association with the small intestine and a lack of lymph node metastasis after 1.5 years.
• Diagnosis was informed through imaging and the differentiation from smooth muscle tumors and GIST, supporting detailed pre-surgical evaluation.
• Complications from malignancy may arise, highlighting the need for careful handling during laparoscopic resections.
