Abstract
|
|
|
Benign tracheal tumors are less common than malignant tumors, but they are
relatively more important because they are operable and curable. Neurilemmoma is
originated from Schwann cells of nerve sheath, which are characterized by benign,
solitary, and encapsulated mass. Tracheal neurilemmomas are extremely rare and
reported only 21 cases in the world literature.
Recently, we experienced a case of neurilemmoma which arose from the trachea of a
48-year-old female patient who complained of progressive dyspnea. The tumor mass
was removed successfully through bronchoscopic and tracheal fissure approach. The final
pathological diagnosis viewed under a microscope after H&E stain was a neurilemmoma
in which Antoni type A and type B both existed.
