Schwannoma is a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells. It commonly occurs in the head, neck, and extremities, but rarely occurs in the trachea. Tracheal schwannoma is usually asymptomatic. We reported the 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings of a 61-year-old man with bronchoscopically biopsy-proven schwannoma, which presented challenges in differentiation from certain benign tumors and low-grade malignancies in the trachea.
神经鞘瘤是一种起源于施万细胞的良性肿瘤。它常见于头颈部和四肢,但在气管中很少见。气管神经鞘瘤通常无症状。我们报告了一例经支气管镜活检证实的 61 岁男性患者的 18 F-FDG PET/CT 结果,该患者的肿瘤在气管中与某些良性肿瘤和低度恶性肿瘤的鉴别存在一定挑战。
