Abstract

Neurilemmoma is rare benign tumor originating from the Schwann cell of the nerve sheath. Intrabronchial neurilemmoma are extremely rare and only few cases have been reported previously in Korea. Neurilemmoma at all ages but are most common in persons between the ages of 20 and 50 years. It affects the head, neck, flexor regions of the extremities. Neurilemmoma was confirmed histologically because of the presence of Verocay bodies, Antoni A or B tissue pattern and of S-100 protein. We report two cases of intrabronchial neurilemmoma with chronic coughing and nonspecific radiologic findings.

기관지내 발생하는 신경초종은 매우 드물며 임상 증상과 방사선적 영상으로 진단하기가 어려워 기관지 내시경을 이용한 생검술이 필요하다. 저자들은 임상적으로 진단하기 어렵고 드문 기관지내 신경초종을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
