| description | Diaphragmatic neurilemmoma (schwannoma) is an extremely rare tumor that is often discovered incidentally. Even when diagnosed, patients are commonly advised only to attend regular follow-up appointments as conventional tumorectomy is enormously invasive and confers relatively few benefits. Here, we report a unique case of a diaphragmatic neurilemmoma with concomitant symptomatic cholecystolithiasis, who was treated successfully by pure laparoscopy. The entire operation lasted 65 min, and patient was discharged uneventfully on the 3 rd post-operative day. The follow-up for 29 months has shown with no recurrence or symptoms. |
