Schwannoma is one of the most common benign tumors of the nerve sheath. In thoracic region, mediastinum is the prime site for the occurrence of schwannoma. Here, we present a case of chest wall schwannoma, which presented as incidentally detected chest wall tumors. Schwannoma being a slow growing benign tumor is incidentally detected on chest imaging done for vague complaints. Computerized tomography scan supports the diagnosis of schwannoma and is essential to assess the extent of the tumor. Treatment of choice is surgery. Now a day's thoracoscopic approach is preferred in suitable cases. |
