Abstract
Neural hypertrophy with hyperplastic Schwann cells in the wall of the stomach along with enterochromaffin cell hyperplasia was incidentally observed at histology in the gastrectomy specimen of a 43-year-old man with carcinoma stomach who had presented with upper abdominal pain of one year duration. The patient had no previous abdominal surgery or evidence of gastrointestinal obstructive pathology. The significance of this neural hypertrophy is not known.
