Abstract:
A case of primary intrapulmonary schwannoma was described. A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of dry cough. A chest radiograph showed partial atelectasis of the middle lobe, but computed tomogram of the chest revealed no tumor shadow. Bronchoscopy disclosed a pale-yellow uneven endobronchial wall of the right middle lobe bronchus. Transbronchial biopsy revealed benign schwannoma. Primary intrapulmonary schwannoma has been rarely reported.
