| description | Neurogenic tumors are common in the mediastinum. Two cases (A 35 years old woman and a 45 years old man) presented with non specific clinical signs and worked up, According on imaging (Chest X-Ray, CT Scan, MRI) they have mediastinal tumor near thoracic spine. Two tumors were removed completely (about 1 kg) with thorcotomy. Pathology of both were schwannoma. The importance of knowledge about this tumor is its relation with thoracic spine and the spinal cord. Therefore all surgeons must noticed that this surgery (posterior thoracotomy and laminectomy) is done with the cooperation of neurosurgical team. |
