Neurogenic tumors are derived from tissue of the neural crest. Most of the mediastinal neurogenic tumors occur in the posterior compartment. Extension to the cervical area and the surrounding major arteries is rare. We report a patient with a ganglioneuroma arising from the brachial plexus, extending into the cervical region, and surrounding the left vertebral and subclavian arteries. The patient underwent successful resection by modified trapdoor thoracotomy.
神经源性肿瘤起源于神经嵴组织。大多数纵隔神经源性肿瘤发生在后纵隔。延伸至颈部区域和周围主要动脉的情况罕见。我们报告一例臂丛神经节细胞瘤患者,肿瘤延伸至颈部区域,并包绕左椎动脉和锁骨下动脉。该患者通过改良活板门开胸术成功切除肿瘤。
