A man in his 40s was incidentally found to have a large right sided apical pleural based mass on imaging. This was further investigated with a CT-guided biopsy. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the tissue revealed a diagnosis of a Schwannoma: a rare, slow-growing benign nerve sheath tumour. Only a handful of pleural based Schwannomas have been documented in the literature. They account for about 0.2% of lung tumours. The patient was referred to cardiothoracic surgery who advised surgical resection of the mass, which he is awaiting. Here, we report a rare case of a pleural based Schwannoma which was diagnosed incidentally on chest x-ray.
一名40多岁的男性在影像学检查中偶然发现右侧肺尖部有一个较大的胸膜下肿块。通过CT引导下活检对其进行了进一步检查。对该组织进行的组织学和免疫组化分析显示诊断为神经鞘瘤：一种罕见的、生长缓慢的良性神经鞘肿瘤。文献中仅记载了少数胸膜下神经鞘瘤病例。它们约占肺肿瘤的0.2%。该患者被转诊至心胸外科，医生建议手术切除肿块，他正在等待手术。在此，我们报告一例罕见的胸膜下神经鞘瘤病例，该病例是在胸部X光检查时偶然发现的。
