Description:

Pancreatic schwannoma is a rare neoplasm. By 2012, there were only 47 cases reported on pancreatic schwannoma the English literature to the best of our knowledge. Hereby, we report a 37-year-old Caucasian male with a cystic schwannoma in the head of the pancreas. The patient, complaining of vague abdominal pain and pruritus underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen. The CT scan of the abdomen revealed a cystic lesion in the head of the pancreas. Initially, a cystic mucinous tumor of the pancreas was suspected. Whipple’s procedure was undertaken. The histopathologic evaluation of the specimen revealed a pancreatic schwannoma. The patient did well postoperatively. Even rarely seen, pancreatic schwannoma should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions., Bulent Aytac, Ahmet Karamercan, Mehmet Eren Yuksel, Gamze Kulduk, and Literatura
