Abstract

Schwannomas which are frequently seen in posterior mediastinum are bening tumors of peripheral nerve sheath. Thoracic schwannomas generally arise from the intercostal nerve. Thoracic schwannomas arising from different neural structures are extremely rare. A 56-year-old female was admitted with the complaint of cough and dispnea. Posteroanterior chest radiograph showed right-sided tracheal compression. Chest computed tomography scan revealed a solid mass in the upper mediastinum adjacent to the posterolateral wall of trachea, extending into the thorax. Therafter, muscle-sparing thoracotomy was performed. The lesion was excised totally. Histopathologic diagnosis was reported as schwannoma. In this report, we present a case with schwannoma which was found in a rare location and originated from an unusual neural structure.

Özet

Posterior mediastende sıkça görülen schwanomlar, periferik sinir kılıfının iyi huylu tümörleridir. Toraks yerleşimli schwanomlar genellikle interkostal sinirden köken alırlar. Farklı sinir yapılarından köken alan toraks yerleşimli schwanomlar oldukça nadirdir. Elli altı yaşında kadın hasta, nefes darlığı ve öksürük yakınması ile başvurdu. Arka-ön akciğer grafisinde sağ taraflı trakeal bası izlendi. Göğüs bilgisayarlı tomografisinde üst mediastende, trakea posterolateral duvar komşuluğunda, toraks içerisine doğru uzanan solid bir kitle tespit edildi. Bunun üzerine, kas koruyucu torakotomi yapıldı. Lezyon total olarak eksize edildi. Histopatolojik tanı schwanom olarak bildirildi. Bu yazıda, nadir görülen bir yerleşimde bulunan ve farklı sinirden köken alan schwanomlu bir olgu sunuldu.
