A case of malignant melanoma of the posterior mediastinum, arising from the sympathetic chain is reported. The structural features and the presence of long-spaced collagen on electron microscopic examination suggest schwannian derivation of the tumour. Similar tumours are reviewed and the histogenesis of pigmented nerve sheath tumours in general is discussed. The term 'malignant melanotic schwannoma' is probably the most appropriate for the tumour entity described here.
报告一例起源于交感神经链的后纵隔恶性黑色素瘤。电子显微镜检查显示的结构特征及长间距胶原的存在提示该肿瘤起源于施万细胞。本文回顾了类似肿瘤，并讨论了色素性神经鞘瘤的一般组织发生。术语“恶性黑色素性施万瘤”可能最适合描述此处所述的肿瘤实体。
