Abstract

Introduction: Schwannoma is a neoplasm, usually benign, originating from Schwann cells, responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves. It is most frequently found in the peripheral and central nervous systems; however, it can rarely arise in the gastrointestinal tract. It presents an intramural location.
Objective: To report a series of cases of Esophageal Schwannoma (ES).
Method: Review of the results of 65,484 upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) exams, performed at a Private Clinic in Goiânia-GO, and their respective biopsies. Results: Of these exams, 12 (0.018%) cases of ES were diagnosed, with a mean age of 43.4 ± 5.2 years, ranging from 17 to 82 years. Eight (66.6%) were female. The most common site of involvement was the distal esophagus (76.9%).
Conclusion: ES is a rare tumor in the digestive tract. In the present study, it was found in 0.018% of UDE exams. We observed a higher prevalence in females (66.6%). The distal esophagus was the most affected segment (76.9%).
