Schwannomas are mesenchymal neoplasms originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. The tumor may appear anywhere in the body, while it has a predilection for extremities, trunk, retroperitoneum, head, and neck. Primary pulmonary schwannoma is extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.2% of all lung tumors. A 42-year-old man was incidentally discovered to have an endobronchial tumor, and we performed the left lower lobe sleeve resection to remove the mass completely. Postoperative histopathological findings confirmed a benign schwannoma. Although endobronchial schwannoma is extremely rare, follow-ups are crucial for monitoring tumor growth and reducing the risk of recurrence.
神经鞘瘤是起源于神经鞘雪旺细胞的间叶性肿瘤。该肿瘤可出现在身体的任何部位，但好发于四肢、躯干、腹膜后、头颈部。原发性肺神经鞘瘤极为罕见，占所有肺部肿瘤的比例不到0.2%。一名42岁男性偶然发现患有支气管内肿瘤，我们进行了左下叶袖状切除术以完全切除肿块。术后组织病理学检查结果证实为良性神经鞘瘤。尽管支气管内神经鞘瘤极为罕见，但随访对于监测肿瘤生长和降低复发风险至关重要。
