Intrathoracic Schwannoma with Venous Return to Vena Azygos: A Case Report
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Surgery · pp. 97–101 · Published 26 Dec 2019
Abstract
Aims: Schwannoma is a neurogenic tumour, originating from the nerve sheaths may either be malign or benign. In this case, was presented a giant mass and its an abnormal vascular structure. Presentation: In this case, the location of the big mass was also the posterior sulcus. The mass has been dissected extrapleural from the thoracic wall by a posterolateral thoracotomy. The venous return was detected to be towards to the azygos vein. Discussion: When excising a resectable giant schwannoma mass, the possibility of abnormal vessels or arteries should be kept in mind.
