[Coexistence of Schwannomatosis from Vagal Nerve and Intercostal Nerve;Report of a Case].

Schwannomatosis with mediastinal vagal schwannoma is rare. A 71-year-old man presented with multiple mediastinal tumors by a regular check-up. A chest computed tomography showed well-defined round tumors along with the 3rd intercostal nerve and in the left upper mediastinal area. A percutaneous biopsy specimen of the tumor suggested benign tumor, however surgical excision was performed for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. The histological diagnosis was schwannoma. Since the tumor originated from the mediastinal vagal nerve proximal to the recurrent laryngeal nerve and was suggested to be benign, it was not resected to preserve the function of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
