Abstract

An MR-pathologic correlation of nine intrathoracic neurogenic tumors (three neurofibromas, four schwannomas, and two ganglioneuromas) was performed to characterize their MR appearances. The three types of intrathoracic neurogenic tumor were found to have characteristic appearances on MR images that should be helpful when establishing the differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal tumors. The MR and histologic features of these tumors are illustrated and described in this essay.
