Neurilemmoma of the intrathoracic vagus nerve.

C J Davis1, E G Butchart, A R Gibbs.   

Abstract

A neurilemmoma (Schwannoma) of the left intrathoracic vagus nerve was discovered on a chest radiograph of a 28 yr old woman and was removed via a left thoracotomy. Although neurogenic tumours are the most common tumours of the mediastinum, they rarely involve the intrathoracic vagus nerve.
