    Abstract:
    Although schwannomas are the most common neurogenic tumors found in the thorax, schwannomas of the mesoesophagus are extremely rare. We report a case of an 80-year-old man having a tumor in contact with the esophagus in the left posterior mediastinum. A preoperative follow-up computed tomography scan showed tumor displacement from the left to the right of the posterior mediastinum. The patient underwent surgery, and the tumor was diagnosed as a schwannoma of the mesoesophagus. The tumor might have been displaced from the left to the right of the posterior mediastinum because it was located in the mesoesophagus.
