Schwannoma is a benign slow growing nerve sheath tumor which generally originates from cranial or spinal nerve roots. Peripheral nerve localisations are scarce. We report the case of a 76-year man who presented with a laterosternal chest wall mass located in the fourth intercostal space. Diagnosis of intercostal benign schwannoma was suggested by medical imaging and confirmed histologicolly upon surgical removal. Chest wall solitary schwannoma is exceptional. Our case is still more interesting by its peripheral localisation and late occurence following a chest trauma.
施万细胞瘤是一种生长缓慢的良性神经鞘瘤，通常起源于颅神经或脊神经根。周围神经定位较少见。我们报告一例76岁男性患者，其胸骨旁胸壁肿物位于第四肋间间隙。医学影像提示为肋间良性施万细胞瘤，手术切除后经组织学检查得以证实。胸壁孤立性施万细胞瘤很罕见。我们的病例因其周围神经定位以及胸部外伤后较晚发病而更具趣味性。
