  • Title: [Superior posterior mediastinal neurinoma with extrathoracic extension].
    Author: Oizumi H, Aoyama K, Yuki Y, Saito H, Washio M.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1992 Jun; 45(6):551-3. PubMed ID: 1602690.
    Abstract:
    We have encountered a case of superior mediastinal neurinoma which grows through the intercostal space and advances into the erector spinal muscles. Neurinoma which shows such a growth pattern is rare. MRI is useful in making preoperative evaluation. For operation, non-open chest extrapleural extirpation was successfully performed by the supraclavicular and posterior approach. This type of operation has the following advantages: surgical stress is less; postsurgical pain is mild, etc.
