    Abstract:
    We reported a dumbbell type tumor of the posterior mediastinum. The patient was an asymptomatic 40-year-old male. An abnormal shadow in the right lower lung field was pointed out in a mass survey. We recognized a dumbbell type tumor in the posterior mediastinum by chest CT and MRI. The tumor invaded the intervertebral canal through the spinal foramen. It was most clearly seen by MRI myelography. Operation was performed with the patient in a prone position and with an L-shaped skin incision of the back and 11th intracostal thoracotomy and Th11 laminectomy. The dumbbell type tumor was completely removed by this operation. The pathological diagnosis was Schwannoma. The post operative course was good. The one-stage operation is useful for dumbbell type tumors of the posterior mediastinum.
