| 摘要 |
Benign neurogenic tumors originating from the peripheral nervous system usually
appear as schwannomas or neurofibromas. They represent one of the common
causes of a posterior mediastinal mass and are usually found incidentally. However,
tumors originating from the intrathoracic phrenic nerve are rare. We therefore
report a case of schwannoma of the left phrenic nerve presenting as a lobulated mass
causing hoarseness. |
