Abstract

Schwannoma is the most common neurogenic tumor in the posterior mediastinum, however it is rarely found in the anterior mediastinum (Mediastinum 4, 2020; Radiat Med 13(4):175-7). We report a large anterior mediastinal schwannoma causing cardiac compression along with a concurrent cervical spine lesion causing right-sided weakness. Current literature having only a few case reports describing an anterior location for this neoplasm and even rarer to have a concurrent symptomatic cervical lesion. We present this case to highlight this rare finding and increase awareness of this potential diagnosis.

巨大前纵隔神经鞘瘤引起心脏压迫并同时发生颈椎病变引起脊髓压迫的罕见病例。
神经鞘瘤是后纵隔最常见的神经源性肿瘤,但在前纵隔很少发现(mediastinum 4,2020;中华放射医学杂志13(4):175-7。我们报告一个大的前纵隔神经鞘瘤引起心脏压迫,同时颈椎病变引起右侧无力。目前文献中只有少数病例报告描述了这种肿瘤的前位,更罕见的是同时有症状性宫颈病变。我们提出这个病例是为了强调这种罕见的发现,并提高对这种潜在诊断的认识。
