Abstract:
In the vast majority of cases, schwannoma (neurilemmoma) of the posterior mediastinum arises from 1 of the intercostal nerves and most often is manifested by an asymptomatic solitary mass on a radiograph. This case report emphasizes the importance of new imaging studies in the diagnosis of this classic tumor of the mediastinum, with special regard to the differential diagnosis of such a tumor.
