Abstract

Introduction: We present a rare case of right colon Schwannoma treated by laparoscopic colectomy.

Case Report: Clinical presentation was a right colon´s subepithelial lession and anemia. The resection was performed laparoscopically without postoperative incidents. The diagnosis was by histopathology and immuno histo chemistry that showed an intense positivity for S100 in tumor cells with KI67 proliferation index less than 1%, so concluded a benign lession.
