BACKGROUND Differentiating a distant lesion in breast cancer patients can be challenging. Although pleural schwannoma in breast cancer patient is unusual, clinicians may encounter many similar benign lesions mimicking metastatic breast cancer. CASE REPORT Herein, we present the case of a 62-year-old female patient who developed schwannoma on her pleura, which was suspected as metastasis of breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our case highlights the need to keep in mind the non-malignant diagnosis of distant lesion in those with malignancies, such as breast cancer.
乳腺癌患者远处病灶的鉴别具有挑战性。胸膜神经鞘瘤虽不常见，但临床医生可能会遇到许多类似的良性病变，这些病变类似于转移性乳腺癌。
在此，我们报告了一例 62 岁女性患者的病例，该患者在胸膜上发生了神经鞘瘤，该神经鞘瘤最初被怀疑为乳腺癌的转移灶。
我们的病例强调了在患有恶性肿瘤（如乳腺癌）的患者中，对于远处病灶需要牢记非恶性诊断的重要性。
