Vagal schwannoma of the posterior mediastinum with cervical extension Vagal schwannoma with cervical extension
Özet
A 35-year-old male was admitted to our Emergency Department with chest
pain and hoarseness lasting for a month. A well-defined 58x36x34 mm mass
located in the left posterior mediastinum with cervical extension was
found on radiological imaging. It was completely excised with
transversal cervicotomy and left-sided video-assisted thoracoscopic
surgery. Schwannomas originating from the intrathoracic vagus nerve are
extremely rare. Due to its rarity, similarity with other mediastinal
lesions and unusual localization, diagnosis can be missed easily in busy
and crowded Emergency Department. Here, the essence of diagnosis is to
exclude other causes and keep in mind.
