A 64-year-old male was admitted in February 24, 1988 because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. The tumor in the thoracic wall was removed at the thoracotomy and histology showed neurilemoma. Aspiration biopsy of tumors on the left upper limb and sacrum revealed the typical histopathologic appearance of neurilemomas. The possibility of malignant transformation and sequential appearance of tumors in patients with a neurilemoma indicates that complete resection and thorough follow-up examination are important.
