case of schwannoma with hemorrhagic cystic degeneration in the right upper mediastinum was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University in July 2010. The patient shows symptoms of cough and shortness of breath. He received video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of right upper mediastinal mass. This disease displayed different symptoms depending on tumor size and location.

Benign Schwannoma rarely involves the vertebral bodies extensively. Despite of huge amount of neoplastic mass and severe destructive bony changes, the neurologic deficits could not be discovered. The authors discussed the findings of plain X-rays, cervical CT, MRI, pathology as well as surgical procedure, and reviewed the literatures.

Schwannoma is a peripheral nerve tumour, occasionally located in the genitourinary tract. We described an extremely rare case of intratesticular neurinoma in a 79-year-old patient.

Benign Schwannoma rarely involves the vertebral bodies extensively. Two cases of widespread involvement of cervical vertebral bodies by Schwannoma are reported. Despite of huge amount of neoplastic mass and severe destructive bony changes, the neurologic deficits were minimal and postoperative result was not discouraging. Finding of plain X-rays, cervical CT scan and tumor pathology were discussed as well as surgical approach.

Two cases of thoracic intramedullary schwannoma confirmed by surgery and pathology are reported. These tumors were hypointense on T1WI, and hyperintense on T2WI with good enhancement on MRI. One case showed typical intramendullary tumor, associated with peritumoral cord swelling and syrinx, and another showed both intramedullary and extramedullary location. Schwannomas of the spinal cord, although very rare, Should be included in the differential diagnosis of intramedullary tumor.
