Primary intrabronchial neurilemmas, also called schwannomas, are extremely rare tumors that originate from Schwann cells. We report a case of intrabronchial schwannoma arising in the left main bronchus in an 8-year-old child. The diagnosis was made by bronchofiberscopic biopsy. Although the tumor was benign, the patient was subjected to left pneumonectomy because of destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma distal to the obstruction. The diagnosis of intrabronchial schwannoma was supported pathologically with characteristic findings on Antoni A and Antoni B areas. This case is unique in that it is the youngest case in the literature.
原发性支气管神经鞘瘤，也称为神经鞘瘤，是一种极为罕见的起源于 Schwann 细胞的肿瘤。我们报告了一例发生在 8 岁儿童左主支气管的支气管内神经鞘瘤。诊断通过支气管纤维镜活检得出。尽管肿瘤是良性的，但由于阻塞远端的肺实质受损，患者接受了左肺切除术。支气管内神经鞘瘤的诊断在病理学上具有特征性的 Antoni A 和 Antoni B 区域表现。该病例的独特之处在于它是文献中年龄最小的病例。
