Neurilemmoma, also called schwannoma, neurinoma and perineural fibroblastoma is a rare benign tumor originated from the schwann cell of nerve sheath. They occur commonly at 20-50 aged person and involved the head and neck and flexor surface of
the
extremity. Histologically, they are characterized by Antoni A and Antoni B tissue composed of high and low cellularity.
Primary neurilemmoma involved in chest wall is very rare and have not been reported previously. We experienced chest wall neurilemmoma in a 72 year old man. The pulmonary radiology showed the mass in the chest wall, and percutaneous transthoracic
needle
