160 tumors of neural origin occurring in the thorax were analyzed. The major histological features of schwannoma, neurofibroma, neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, and paraganglioma are described. Radiological analysis emphasized shape and location. Calcification was relatively uncommon but may be specific. The comparatively low figures on incidence of rib and vertebral abnormalities might be increased by special studies, including vertebral tomography. Evidence of local spread such as pleura-based nodules and pleural effusion constitutes evidence of malignancy. Age may be the most important clinical parameter for distinguishing between histological types.
对160例发生于胸部的神经源性肿瘤进行了分析。描述了神经鞘瘤、神经纤维瘤、神经母细胞瘤、神经节神经母细胞瘤、神经节神经瘤和副神经节瘤的主要组织学特征。放射学分析着重于形态和位置。钙化相对少见，但可能具有特异性。包括椎体断层扫描在内的专项研究可能会使肋骨和椎体异常的发病率相对较低的数字有所增加。局部扩散的证据，如胸膜下结节和胸腔积液，构成恶性肿瘤的证据。年龄可能是区分组织学类型的最重要的临床参数。
