Endobronchial Schwannoma : A Rare Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Schwannomas are uncommon and often benign neoplasms developing from the nerve sheath of the peripheral nervous system. Thoracic schwannomas most often appear in the posterior mediastinum and costovertebral angle. Pulmonary schwannomas are exceedingly rare and can present a diagnostic challenge.Here we report a case of a solitary right-sided endobronchial schwannoma presenting with progressive respiratory symptoms and discuss the clinical features, histopathological manifestations and diagnostic considerations of this rare tumor.
