| Abstract [eng] |
Neurilemoma is a tumour of peripleurical nervous tissues. It grows slowly and has an asymptomatic manifestation. During tumour enlargement, depending on localisation, clinical symptoms appear because of the tumour pressure to the surrounding tissues. Mostly neurilemomas appear in extremities of patients aged 30–50 years. N. vagus neurilemoma is a very rare disease. The diagnosis is made using radiology. The treatment is surgical removal. We present a clinical case of intrathoracal n. vagus neurilemoma in a 39-year-old woman. The diagnosis was made using radiological findings (chest X-ray, chest CT, and the MRI of the mediastinum). The removal of the tumour was made by VATS. The diagnosis was proved morphologically. After 8 days, the patient was discharged from the hospital. |
