    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 23-year-old female with benign intrathoracic vagal neurofibroma associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. We reviewed 87 other neurogenic tumors of the intrathoracic vagus nerve and discuss the incidence rate of complications, especially the relationship between tumor location, tumor size, and preservation of the nerve in this case report.
