Abstract:
Neurogenic tumors are the most common posterior mediastinal tumors and accounting for 19~39% of all mediastinal tumors and 75% of all posterior mediastinal tumors. Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression of tumors, including neurologic tumors of the peripheral nerves, nerve roots, and plexi. A posterior mediastinal neufibroma in neurofibromatosis patients is rare. We report here a case of posterior mediastinal neurofibroma in a patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis.
