title: [Malignant schwannoma of the ileum: an extremely rare disease entity (presentation of a case and review of the literature)].
abstract: The authors examine a case of malignant ileal schwannoma successfully treated in the Verona Surgical Clinic. They compare their experience with the data reported in the literature, confirming the extreme difficulty encountered in diagnosing the disease. Therapy is discussed, and the authors stress that, in the presence of an intestinal haemorrhage the origin of which traditional diagnostic investigations are unable to establish, one should always bear in mind the possibility of schwannoma despite its rarity.
