Abstract:
A 76-year-old woman presented with an intrathoracic malignant peripheral nerve-sheath tumour accompanied by mediastinal lipomas. The tumours were resected, but the schwannoma recurred 4 months later. The patient died of pneumonia after a second operation. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of malignant intrathoracic tumour of nerve-sheath origin associated with lipomas.
