Schwannomas commonly occur in the head and neck region but are rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract; the stomach and small intestine are the most commonly involved sites. These tumors are usually misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) before histopathological confirmation due to radiological similarity. GI schwannomas show positivity for S100 protein and vimentin but are negative for CD 117 and CD 34, which helps in differentiating the tumor from GISTs.

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.
