Abstract

Objective: Benign nerve sheath tumors are the most common neurogenic tumors of the mediastinum in adults. Intrathoracic schwannomas are generally placed in posterior mediastinum and constitute approximately 75% of all tumors in this region. Since they are usually asymptomatic and seen as well circumscribed solitary mass in the thoracic images, a variety of pathologies can be attributed as prediagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate retrospectively 10 cases of schwannoma who were diagnosed between the years 2006-2014. Material and Methods: The patients who were diagnosed as schwannoma in Süreyyapaşa Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital between 2006- 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Six of the ten cases of schwannoma were female (60%) and four were man (40%). The mean age was found 46 years. Most common symptom is cough and it was followed by chest pain. When Thoracic CT findings were examined, in six cases (60%) lesions were located in the upper mediastinum, and in nine cases (90%) the lesion was located in the paravertebral area. Endobronchial lesion was not seen in fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination of all patients. All patients were diagnosed by surgery. Conclusion: The diagnosis of Schwannoma cases, which are most commonly encountered by the involvement of the upper mediastinum, and are often benign characteristically require invasive surgical intervention.

Özet

Amaç: Benign sinir kılıfı tümörleri, erişkin hastalarda mediastenin en sık rastlanan nörojenik tümörleridir. İntratorasik yerleşimli schwannomlar ise genellikle posterior mediastene yerleşirler ve bu bölgedeki bütün tümörlerin yaklaşık %75'ini oluşturmaktadır. Genellikle asemptomatik olması ve çekilen toraks görüntülemelerinde düzgün sınırlı soliter kitle şeklinde saptanması nedeniyle farklı öntanılarla değerlendirilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmamızda, 2006-2014 yılları arasında tanı konulan 10 schwannom olgusunu retrospektif olarak incelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2006-2014 yıllarında Süreyyapaşa Göğüs Hastalıkları ve Göğüs Cerrahisi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde schwannom tanısı alan toplam on hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: On schwannom olgusunun altısı (%60) kadın, dördü (%40) erkekti. Yaş ortalaması 46 yıl olarak bulundu. En sık rastlanan semptom öksürük olduğu bunu göğüs ağrısının takip ettiği görüldü. Toraks CT bulguları incelendiğinde lezyonların altı olguda (%60) üst mediastende lokalize olduğu ve dokuz (%90) olguda lezyonun paravertebral yerleşimli olduğu görüldü. Tüm hastaların yapılan fiberoptik bronkoskopik incelemesinde endobronşial lezyon görülmedi. Tüm olguların tanısı cerrahi olarak konuldu. Sonuç: En sık üst mediasten tutulumu ile karşımıza çıkan sıklıkla benign karakterli olan schwannom olgularının tanısında invaziv cerrahi işlem gerekir. Anahtar kelimeler: mediasten tümörleri, nörilemmom, torasik cerrahi işlem gerekir.
