Abstract

Mediastinal mass-like manifestations often cause alarm and instigate a myriad of investigative testing to rule out insidious malignant processes. However, a unique and benign finding, the schwannoma can present either incidentally or while in pursuit of a symptomatic presentation. Given its rarity, limited literature exists on these neurogenic tumours with less than three dozen reported cases. No specific guidelines exist regarding the extent of required advanced imaging or degree of invasive evaluation. Therefore, practitioners confronted with these intrathoracic tumours may find management challenging or delayed. We present a case discussing a large benign tumour causing symptomatic burden, the investigative methods implored and treatment modality. We add to the literature another unique presentation of an intercostal nerve sheath tumour with schwannoma pathology.

肺部恶性肿瘤的巨大假象:巨大纵隔肋间神经瘤
纵隔肿块样表现往往会引起人们的警觉,并促使人们进行大量的检查以排除隐匿的恶性过程。然而,作为一种独特的良性病变,分裂瘤既可能偶然出现,也可能在发现症状时出现。鉴于其罕见性,有关这类神经源性肿瘤的文献有限,仅有不到三十几例的报道。对于所需的高级影像学检查范围或侵入性评估程度,目前还没有具体的指南。因此,医生在面对这些胸腔内肿瘤时可能会发现处理具有挑战性或被延误。我们将介绍一个病例,讨论引起症状负担的巨大良性肿瘤、所需的检查方法和治疗模式。我们为文献增添了另一个独特的肋间神经鞘瘤病理表现。
