Can Assoc Radiol J. 1996 Jun;47(3):183-5.

Abstract

Malignant schwannoma of the liver without associated neurofibromatosis is rare. The authors present one such case in a 35-year-old woman. Computed tomography demonstrated large liver masses with contiguous involvement of adjacent stomach tissue, consistent with local invasion.
