title: [Schwannoma of the duodenojejunal angle].
abstract: Neurogenic tumors of the small intestine are extremely rare. Although schwannoma is often clinically indolent for many years, complications such as gut compression or bleeding might occur. In these cases, surgical management is required. We reported a case of asymptomatic schwannoma of the duodenojejunal angle. Surgical treatment was performed to provide definitive immunohistochemistry diagnosis and to prevent complications.
