Schwannomas are tumors originating from schwann cells in the nervous system. Colonic location is rarely seen and there are a few case reports published in the literature. We report a 53 year-old female who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea ongoing for 2 years. Computer Tomography scan revealed a solid mass in size of 12.5x8 cm originating from the ascending colon and multiple lymphadenopathies in surrounding area. The patient underwent extended right hemicolectomy. The histopathological examination demonstrated a benign colonic schwannoma.Preoperative diagnosis of Colonic schwannoma seems to be difficult and usually schwannoma is diagnosed in the postoperative pathological examinations.
