Abstract

|
|
|
Neurilemmoma is a benign and slowly growing neurogenic tumor. Intrathoracic neurilemmoma often develops in the chest wall and posterior mediastinum, but endobronchial neurilemmoma is extremely rare. The diagnosis of end- obronchial neurilemmoma with preoperative imaging findings is challenging and is usually made via postoperative pathological examination. These authors encountered a case of primary endobronchial neurilemmoma in a 52- year-old woman who had no symptoms. A 3.0×2.6cm mass in the right lower lobe projecting into the mediobasal segmental bronchus was shown in the results of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the chest. Benign neurilemmoma was confirmed via bronchoscopic biopsy, and surgi- cal resection(sleeve bronchial excision and end-to-end anastomosis) was performed.
