Abstract

Acase of malignant schwannoma in the cervico-thoracic region with lung metastasis is presented. The patient was 55-year-old man presented with right arm weakness. Magnetic resonance image demonstrated lobulated enhancing soft tissue masses in spinal canal, neural foramen and right paraspinal space at C7-T1 level compressing the dural sac and spinal cord. Subtotal removal was performed and histological diagnosis of malignant schwannoma was made. Reoperation due to recurrence was done but subsequent metastasis to lung was observed.
