Abstract
Mediastinal schwannomas are rare tumors that develop from peripheral nerve sheath in the mediastinum. Most commonly they are located in posterior mediastinum and are very unusual in anterior mediastinum like the present study of a 51 year old male. He presented with breathlessness, dyspnea and cough for 3 months. Radiological imaging, CT scan reports revealed a cystic SOL in anterior superior mediastinum. The patient underwent thoracotomy and on histopathological examination revealed features of schwannoma which was further confirmed by immunohistochemical study with S-100 protein. Prognosis is good for such tumours and no recurrence is yet reported.
