ABSTRACT
A 45 year old man was admitted for further examination of an abnormal shadow of the right posterior mediastinum. The patient suffered from dysesthesia in the right thoracic wall of dermatome T7. CT scan and MRI revealed that two separate tumors had developed in the right paravertebral area linked to the vertebral canal via an intervertebral foramina. One-stage removal of the tumors were performed safely through the right posterolateral thoracotomy following the resection of the rib head and vertebral pedicle. The tumors were confirmed as histologically neurilemomas. The postoperative course was uneventful.
