ABSTRACT

Intrathoracic neurogenic tumors arising from chest wall are generally rare tumors. The benign soft tissue tumors may produce compression effect on the chest wall but are generally free. The presence of unusual adherence raises the suspicion of malignancy. Our case report describes the clinical features of a young male who underwent excision of a left posterosuperior chest wall mass with a portion of the fourth rib. Histopathological examination unexpectedly revealed the existence of two different pathologies. The mass was found to be benign schwannoma and the rib showed features of tuberculous osteomyelitis. Inflammatory response and fibrous reaction mimicked the features of malignancy.
