T-W Huang et al. 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.
