Thoracoscopic resection of a schwannoma
1993
: Schwannomas are most often benign tumors originating from the sheath of peripheral nerves. Most are asymptomatic and detected incidentally on a routine chest X-ray. Resection is generally recommended to confirm the diagnosis. In a 35-year-old patient we resected and removed an intrathoracic schwannoma of the 6th intercostal nerve thoracoscopically. The technique of resection and protected removal is described.
