A case of hemothorax caused by traumatic rupture of schwannoma is rarely reported. We present a case of thorax injury of an 18-year-old woman who had fallen from a high place with a Glasgow Coma Score 13. Chest X-ray showed a left-sided massive pleural effusion. Chest tomography revealed a 105×80 mm formation in the left lung basal region. The patient underwent an emergency thoracotomy after 2000 cc blood drainage with intercostal tube placement. Tumor's pathologic diagnosis was schwannoma (neurilemmoma). In this case study, we would like to present a traumatic hemothorax for the previously unknown mediastinal mass with the relevant literature.
创伤性神经鞘瘤破裂导致血胸的病例很少见。我们报告了一例 18 岁女性高处坠落伤的病例,该患者格拉斯哥昏迷评分 13 分。胸部 X 线片显示左侧大量胸腔积液。胸部 CT 显示左肺基底部有一个 105×80mm 的肿块。患者在放置肋间引流管引流 2000cc 血液后行急诊开胸术。肿瘤的病理诊断为神经鞘瘤(神经瘤)。在本病例研究中,我们将结合相关文献,介绍一例以前未知的纵隔肿块伴外伤性血胸的病例。
