| 摘要 |
The greater omentum is frequently the site for secondary malignant growths, and primary omental tumors are rare. Benign solitry schwannoma or neurilemmoma is the most common tumor of the peripheral nerves, and is seldom found in the abdomen. Moreover, the greater omentum has a paucity of nervous tissue, so neurilemmoma is extremely rare. To our knowledge, only three cases were documented in the English literature. We report a 67-year-old female patient who presented with occasional epigastric dull pain. Abdominal computed tomography and angiography revealed a hypervascular mass in the upper abdomen. Laparotomy and pathology confirmed that the mass was neurilemmoma in the greater omentum. |
