POSTERIOR MEDIASTINAL SCHWANNOMA: WITH TWO CASE REPORTS

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The most common tumors in the posterior mediastinum are neurogenic tumors. Schwannomas are common among these tumors, which usually originate from the peripheral nerve sheath. Posterior mediastinal masses are mostly benign and have a good prognosis. Two cases who were operated for intrathoracic and paravertebral schwannoma in our clinic were evaluated in the light of the literature.
