# Ascending Colon Schwannoma: A Rare Submucosal Tumour

## TL;DR

A 60-year-old woman with a rare colon tumor called schwannoma was successfully treated with robotic surgery and fully recovered.

## Contribution

This case report highlights a rare occurrence of schwannoma in the ascending colon and its successful robotic treatment.

## Key findings

- Schwannoma was diagnosed in the ascending colon through histological and immunohistochemical analyses.
- Robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy led to a complete recovery in the patient.
- The case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis for rare submucosal tumors.

## Abstract

We present a rare case of schwannoma in the ascending colon of a 60-year-old female with dyslipidemia. A series of diagnostic procedures, including colonoscopy and CT colonography, led to the successful robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma, and the patient achieved a complete recovery post-surgery.
