Gastric Schwannoma Mimicking Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (<scp>GIST</scp>)—A Diagnostic Dilemma
This case underscores the importance of histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemistry in differentiating GS from GISTs, highlighting the need for a correct preoperative diagnosis to guide appropriate management. Gastric schwannomas are typically benign with minimal malignant potential, and surgery is the treatment of choice. Further studies are needed to explore their long-term outcomes and prognostic factors.
