Vagus nerve schwannoma in the middle mediastinum
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg.
2010 Aug.
Abstract
Intrathoracic neurogenic tumors are generally located in the posterior mediastinum. They usually arise from an intercostal nerve or a sympathetic chain. Tumors originating from the vagus nerve in the middle mediastinum are extremely rare. This report describes a patient with a huge intrathoracic schwannoma of the vagus nerve in the middle mediastinum and reviews the literature.
