Rationale: Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve tumors originating from Schwann cells, primarily occurring in the head and neck, limbs, and trunk. Schwannomas occurring in the mesocolon are rare and often have no specific manifestations. Abdominal schwannomas need to be differentiated from common abdominal tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Article Synopsis
- Parasitic leiomyoma (PL) are uterine fibroids that grow outside the uterus in areas like the peritoneum, often complicating diagnosis due to varied imaging results, especially after procedures like laparoscopic myomectomies.
- A 29-year-old woman, who previously underwent laparoscopic myomectomy, was diagnosed with a mesenteric tumor through imaging that initially suggested it could be schwannoma, highlighting the ambiguity of PL identification in such cases.
- The case concludes that PL should be considered in mesenteric tumor diagnoses following laparoscopic myomectomy, regardless of whether typical imaging features of uterine fibroids are present, due to its potential to mimic other tumors like schwannomas.
Introduction: schwannomas are benign and common soft tissue tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and are discovered for other reasons.
Materials: we present the case of an 82-year-old male patient with a recent diagnosis of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon and a hypermetabolic periaortic nodule as an incidental finding.
