"DUMBBELL" Neurilemmoma -A Case Report-

  • 발행 : 1994.06.01

초록

Neurogenic tumors of the mediastinum may have an intraspinal component connected by a narrowed segment of tumor in the intervertebral foramen,hence the descriptive term dumbbell.Recently we had an occasion to remove a dumbbell neurilemmoma in a 62 years old woman using an approach designed to allow wide posterolateral thoracotomy and concomitant laminectomy for a single stage removal of the entire tumor. The mass in the posterior mediastinum was discovered on routine chest roentgenography. CT scan demonstrated a dumbbell shaped soft tissue mass density compressing spinal canal but preserving spinal cord. There were no neurologic signs. A standard posterolateral thoracotomy incision was made to remove tumor mass and then T5 unilateral laminectomy has done by Neurosurgeon. 7 x 7 cm sized extrapleural neurilemmoma was round, cystic, soft mass which covered parietal pleural with invaded regional vertebrae. There was no postoperative neurological complication.
