Abstract
A 46-years-old man was admitted because of an abnormal shadow on X-ray. The operation underwent under the diagnosis of benign tumor in the antero-superior mediastinum. At the operation, the tumor arise from the right intrathoracic vagal nerve and it was resected with the transection of vagal nerve. The histological diagnosis was schwannoma. Postoperative course was uneventful except the slight hoarseness. Intrathoracic vagal tumor is rare and we have found 19 reported cases among Japanese literatures. This case is considered to be the 20th case originated from the intrathoracic vagal nerve in Japan.
