A Case Report of Intrapulmonary Schwannoma

폐실질내 신경초종

Schwannomas are rare and distinctive nerve sheath tumors. They occur commonly along the course of central and peripheral nerves, especially on the skin of the head, neck and extremities. Histologically, they are characterized by Antoni A and Antoni B tissues of high and low cellularity. 2 cases of intrapulmonary Schwannomas were reported worldwide by 1980. We report a case of twenty seven-year-old male patient with intrapulmonary Schwannoma, who had multiple nodules on the skin of the both upper extremities and scrotum with their characteristic findings.
