We report the first case of the intercostal neurilemmoma showing a unique growth pattern in the lateral chest wall (both inside and outside the thoracic cavity). Usually, intrathoracic neurilemmoma is found in the posterior mediastinum and bulge from the inner surface of the bony thorax toward the thoracic cavity. This unique growing pattern of neurilemmoma arising from intercostal nerve was clearly demonstrated by computed tomography and ultrasonography.
我们报告了首例肋间神经鞘瘤,其在胸壁外侧(胸腔内外)呈现出独特的生长模式。通常,胸腔内神经鞘瘤见于后纵隔,从胸廓内表面凸向胸腔。计算机断层扫描和超声检查清楚地显示了这种由肋间神经引起的神经鞘瘤独特的生长模式。
