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.
