Abstract

Schwannomas are rare tumors of neural crest cell origin. Most schwannomas occur in the head, neck and limbs. Thoracic schwannomas are extremely rare and mostly appear in the posterior mediastinum. There are few case reports of anterior mediastinal schwannoma. In this article, we report an anterior mediastinal schwannoma resected using median sternotomy in an 29-years-old female who presented with the complaint of dyspnea. In this article, we aimed to review the literature and discuss the anterior mediastinal localization of schwannoma.

Özet

Schwannomlar nöral krest hücrelerinden kaynaklanan nadir tümörlerdir. Çoğu schwannom baş, boyun ve ekstremitelerde ortaya çıkar. Torasik schwannomlar oldukça nadirdir ve en sık posterior mediastende görülür. Anterior mediastende görülen olgu sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu yazıda nefes darlığı yakınması ile başvuran 29 yaşında bir kadında anterior mediasten yerleşimli ve medyan sternotomi ile rezeke edilen anterior schwannom olgusu sunuldu. Bu olgu sunumunda literatürün gözden geçirilmesi ve anterior mediastinal yerleşim yerinin tartışılması amaçlandı.
