Özet
Nerve sheath tumors such as neurofibroma, schwannoma, and perineurioma are relatively uncommon lesions that sometimes constitute an interesting diagnostic and therapeutic problem in the clinical practice. A 27-year-old male patient was operated for a mass located in the left posterior mediastinum. The mass was resected by a thoracotomy, and a diagnosis of atypical neurofibroma was revealed histopathologically. He has been well without any problems in his 6 months postoperative period. Intrathoracic neurogenic tumors should be resected surgically due to the possibility of malignancy. Complete resection can be performed safely by a thoracotomy approach and is necessary for achieving a cure. © 2011 Düzce Medical Journal.
