[A bleeding jejunal schwannoma. The complications of a rare neoplasm of the small intestine].
The authors report a rare case of jejunal Schwannoma which appeared as hematemesis and melaena. No preoperative test, even selective angiography, enabled a correct clinical diagnosis to be made. Only after explorative laparotomy and careful palpation of the small intestine was the bleeding lesion located. Resection and termino-terminal anastomosis were then performed. The preparation of immunohistochemical reactions now allow forms which were previously diagnosed in different terms to be precisely classified.
