Malignant schwannoma of the esophagus with lymph node metastasis: literature review of schwannoma of the esophagus.

abstract：:Diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in its early stage is an extremely difficult task. If the genetic predispositions are identified, it may help make possible the earlier diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis or the detection of patients at risk. There are two major hypotheses about the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis...
