The usual location of intrathoracic neurogenic tumors is the posterior mediastinum. Those in a mediastinal anterior or middle location arise from the intrathoracic phrenic nerve, which is extremely rare and causes a problem for etiologic diagnosis. We report what is, to our knowledge, the second case of a mediastinal neurofibroma originating from the phrenic nerve of a 59-year-old woman without von Recklinghausen disease. Diagnosis was suggested by the radiologic features and confirmed by histologic aspects after excision. The prognosis after complete resection is excellent.
胸内神经源性肿瘤的常见位置是后纵隔。那些位于纵隔前或中部的肿瘤来自于胸内膈神经，这种情况极其罕见，给病因诊断带来了问题。我们报告了一例据我们所知的来自于 59 岁女性无冯雷克林豪森病的膈神经的纵隔神经纤维瘤，这是第二例。诊断是基于影像学特征，并在切除后通过组织学方面得到证实。完全切除后的预后极好。
