Abstract:
A rare case of neurofibrosuarcoma of the intrathoracic vagus nerve in a man with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging accurately demonstrated the tumour and its relations to surgically important structures. Resection, in accordance with general recommendations for such tumours, was successfully performed.
